Just wanted to thank you for the work.
Also, your latest (but not the one on page 2) link to the duplicates isn't formatted right.
Just thought I'd mention that Straighterline has some new classes coming soon, and I'd kill for PennFoster courses at some point (although they're still a mess on ACE from what I've seen).

Thank you for letting me know about the broken link. Now I know I can't simply cut and paste from my previous post.
This is the correct link for course equivalencies sorted by course #.

Thank you, too, for the info about Straighterline. When you see the new classes offered, please remind me to add them. I don't check their website often, so it's helpful to have feedback from people who do!

I updated these charts today to include social science (SS) equivalents for two exams that I had previously listed as Business only: DSST Money and Banking and DSST Organizational Behavior. These have both Business and SS equivalents and I added the SS equivalencies today.

Check out my thread sandra.
Some other courses might fit in there twice.
I know for a fact that marketing communications is a humanities course. This is good news.

I just updated these charts to reflect the uncertainty of UL credit for the World Populations ECE.

I have had a very difficult time with the Excelsior admissions team getting any clear answers regarding their course equivalencies for CLEP, DSST, TECEPS & ALEKS credits. Has anyone assembled a similar list of Equivalencies for Excelsior? So far my searches has come up cold, any links to appropriate posts will be helpful. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Other than the Student Guide to Credit by Exam and degree plans on this forum, I can not think of any course equivalency lists for EC.
The Student Guide can be downloaded from this page:
School Catologs - excelsior.edu
Only majors require specific courses/exams at EC. The rest of the degree is based on broad categories for which the Student Guide provides examples.
Do you have any specific questions? I (or we) might be able to point you toward relevant posts.
Edit to add: The catalogs (see link above), such as the Liberal Arts catalog, show which ECE exams meet certain requirements for the majors.

These guides are great. However, they don't contain any info on Straighterline or Penn Foster. I searched the thread to see if there was a mention of either and the search came up empty. Is there a reason for the ommision of these two sources?

Maybe you could make a list and share it here?

I have no idea how you missed it but straighterline is included in the documents. Also, if you look under the sources link, there you will find the link to the straighterline site TESC equivalency page. You could also just google the site.
Regarding penn foster, I'm not sure as many students use the PF courses. For those of us that have, we've left feedback on the forum. Just use advanced search. I agree with Jennifer, maybe you could help future students by creating a list of the PF equivalencies and attach it here.
