Alissa, This might be worth more follow up. I think the person who helped you is speaking about CEUs, which if true, wouldn't count for grad credit anywhere....but I'm not sure that these would transcribe as CEUs. The stuff I'm looking at clearly states credit. Hummm.
I thought the same thing. I don't think the guy checked out the credits very thoroughly, but I haven't really investigated these much myself. I plan to look into it a bit further later tonight and send another email. Does anyone know if these courses are letter-graded or Pass/Fail? Or if CSU accepts these toward a degree program there?
Will update if I discover any more....

No, and this isn't something i can check on this weekend- but maybe someone here who might be going after these credits could do some digging? I'd check with CSU before EC. I'd bet the advisor is wrong. I still think these are real credit, on a real transcript- not CEUs.
The dept of continuing ed as issuer is not a reason to disqualify credit. MANY MANY MANY of the universities that offer ANY online degree options do it through their continuing ed/adult ed/extension divisions. (as opposed to a traditional "Graduate College of Arts and Science" within a University.)
Harvard is one, University of Illinois, New Mexico University, even Colorado State University....seriously, over 1/2 the colleges I looked at last year fit into that category. None of those credits transfer to EC? I totally doubt that.
Good link-

Online/Distance Graduate Courses | Colorado State University Continuing Education
If you scroll to the bottom of the page of the above link, you will see some of the Annenberg credits listed. I did not check for others under other catagories.
I would say the ones listed at the bottom of the page of the above link are awarded grad credit not CEU's.

Update :
Online/Distance Graduate Courses | Colorado State University Continuing Education
The above link is sorted to show all the Annenberg Media credits. It seems they have 45 courses available for Grad Credits.

Quote:>>....Also, the workshops are Pass/Fail and our MA-LS degree program requires a letter grades of B- (or better) for acceptable transfer credits. Some colleges are willing to state that an "S" (satisfactory) or "P" (pass) grade is equivalent to a grade of ???? (some colleges will not)
See the following link
Annenberg Media - Graduate Credit Requirements
It appears you can find grading info for the annenberg media courses.
From :Science (EDUC 591E)
Grading will be on a pass/fail basis only.
The following is the grading criteria for the assignments:
Folder/Journal
(documents participation, assigned activities, problems, etc.) 30%
Reflective Paper (2-3 pages for 2 credits, 3-5 pages for 3 credits)30%
Classroom Project 40%
Total100%
80% = passing

I think the "pass/fail" issue would be the primary one here.

Cookderosa,
Since it appears the Annenberg Media courses require an 80% to pass, wouldn't that meet Excelsiors requirement of a B- or better ?

I don't know, but it doesn't appear as if the % matters, only that there isn't a grade issued. :confused:

Here is the reply I received :
Thank you for your interest. The Annenberg courses are open to anyone. You do not have to be a teacher. The workshops/Courses are not CEUâs; they are CSU Grad credits through the School of Education.

hilarious yep. Well, they are still pass/fail- which could be an issue for some.
