Excelsior - working my last nerve!! One more thing and I'm moving to TESC.
#18
They were pass/fail when I enrolled in 2006 as well.

A college has the right to set grade levels regardless of what College board or Ace recommends and do so regularly. ASU my other college sets a pass as 54 instead of the ACE recommended. If they gave you a grade for your DSST 400 exams they would be giving you special treatment and in violation of college policy. If you get special treatment I want it too!
This is why you want to check a colleges policy before you enroll . The issue is that you now either have to take 12 credits with them to waive your 1300 dollar enrollment fee or as you said walk away. It will not because of a violation on Excelsiors part since their catalog clearly states that 400 series are pass fail. They were also pass / fail when I enrolled in 2013 and when I checked in 2011

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun.   Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior.  And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.
