Excelsior IT certification credits?

[libartsmgr]

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an IT certification credit limit at Excelsior that limits the amount of IT credits that can be used for your concentration. I've looked everywhere on thier site and can't find the answer. I even went so far as to call Excelsior admission and was told the best way was to pay the matriulation fee, seems a little extreme.

Fondue - if your asking about Microsoft/Sun/CompTia certs, the answer is YES, EC does accept these credits.

Look in the Student Guide to Credit by Examination to find which ones they accept. All you need is a login account (student or not) to get to the guide. You'll find it very helpful. It lists all exams they will accept.

If/when you register, have all your transcripts from Microsoft etc. sent direct from the certifying body to EC. They won't accept your copy. I got 11 credits from my certs. A bunch of my stuff duplicated (I'm MCSD certified in two languages) and I'm not really sure how they determine it. My advisor (I'm in liberal arts) said that the certifying body (ie. Microsoft) tells them which duplicate which.

But you can at least get an idea without having to pay a fee.

Good luck!
