I sent my "The Culture of Leadership"- SOC 3040 syllabus  BUS 452 Business Leadership to cover  "BUS 452 Business Leadership"  Excelsior academic  advisor and I received her email below but I do not understand what  she meant. The syllabus meets the requirements but I have room for an external course ? I thought I do not have to take it anymore ?
 Her response was : "  Great news! Your  Northwood University (The Culture of Leadership) course has been added to your evaluation and it covers the leadership requirement. It looks like you will have room to take one external course. Please let me know which course you would like to take with Sophia or Study.com and I will check to see if it will fulfill your requirement. If so, then I will approve the course.

 

Keep in mind that when taking external credit there is a Post Admissions Credit Evaluation Services fee of $300 to have the external transcript evaluated. Once you send the transcript you will be emailed with a link to pay the $300 and then the evaluation will be initiated. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this."
 

Hi. I'm unsure if you got your answer, but I understand what your counselor is saying. Excelsior requires that a minimum of 15 credits be taken from Excelsior to graduate from Excelsor. Since you have seven 3-credit classes to clear, she says that your SOC3040 will clear one course (3 credits), and you can clear a second course using Sophia or Study.com. The remaining five classes (15 credits) must be taken at Excelsior.  

I finished my AS Technology from Excelsior in 2020 and used Sophia to clear a few remaining credits. Before you commit to spending the money, you'll want to verify with your counselor which Sophia or Study.com course you're interested in taking. Once she verifies that it will clear one of your courses, you're good to go.

Thanks for your information. I have just paid almost $2000 for just a subject so is it possible for me to change to Sophia or Study and add more subject ?

The only way to know is to email Excelsior what they can do for you... Which class did you register for? Was it the IND301: Cornerstone Pathways?  If so, and you're looking to stay at Excelsior, you want to get them to provide you the discount by delaying your start by a term.  You can finish the remaining transferable credits with Sophia.org and Study.com first, then take the class from them if you decide to remain with Excelsior.
I have jsut finished my first course at Exelcisor which is IND 301-Cornerstone Pathways. I am looking to sign up for courses at Sophia but I do know how to register . I left these subjects: 
ENG 102A Advanced Composition II
IND 203 Introduction to Professional Ethics
IT 390 Project Management
INL 102 Information Literacy
BUS 490 Integrated Business and Management Assessment. 
So What should I do now, my next term start at 21st October.
Thanks for your help.
