Can somebody remind me how much credit TESC awards for FEMA for a TWO year degree?

[rickyjo]

Maybe. I have a heavy background in Christianity including a solid knowledge of the contents of both testaments, and a nebulous knowledge of other religions.

I don't really understand why, but allegedly English Comp II will duplicate. I don't know why, it seems stupid, but according to the EC rep it does. Maybe I should call again and get a 2nd opinion? I really want to use Straighterline. It was so perfect!

I am not understanding this either. Someone could get 12 credits for English I and II and A&I Lit. I don't see how taking the AP Lit would eliminate any way for you to get more than 6 credits.

I think they will keep your highest levels of math. That would be a reason to take Pre-Calc.

I think she's wrong. Either straighterline or A&I Lit does not duplicate AP Lit.

I had a chance to ask about this, and I think I got a different answer than what you received.

I was told that AP Literature & Composition and AP Language & Composition are 6 credits each, meet the Written English Requirement, and count as Humanities credits, but they duplicate each other.

AP Literature & Composition partially duplicates the A&I Lit CLEP (3 credits). AP Language & Composition does NOT duplicate the A&I Lit CLEP.

I asked further if you could take an English Composition II course for 3 credits and A&I Lit CLEP for only 3 credits (since it partially duplicates your AP exam) to get 12 credits total. This would be 3 for the Written English Requirement and 9 for Humanities gen ed. He thought that would be okay, but I don’t know if he was completely sure.

I hope you get this figured out. You are so close to finishing your first college degree!

Edit - I just noticed that you updated your signature with a Music Appreciation class. That will help this dilemma.

This still makes sense right?! Oh my goodness I think I'm done!!!!!
*freaking out*
I'm not sure where to begin, but I better get started!

How exciting! Congratulations! Enjoy your accomplishment!

Welcome to Excelsior College's Class of 2010!

[rickyjo]

You were absolutely instrumental in helping me finally make up my mind. That was a huge turning point, you have my utmost thanks!

That said...
I haven't gotten the final review yet! I will wait to post my "I'm done" thread until that transpires. Even excelsior suffers from the time and money rotting disease of bureaucracy.
