That's awesome! Even as just electives, cheap UL electives can be difficult to find.

For everyone's information, a student reported success in transferring multiple LawShelf courses to University of Maryland Global Campus.

If anyone has any similar success (or failures, for that matter) using LS courses, please let me know as we're trying to build a list of schools that we know will take LS courses.

Excelsior says they'll take LS courses (as we knew they would) but we're still working on getting an equivalency chart. We're also in discussions with TESU, COSC and some others, but these things take time. In the interim, if anyone knows of a successful transfer or if you're running into any issues (that we might be able to help with), please let me know.

Thanks!

We got the Excelsior equivalency chart. The number of credits and levels are all same as NCCRS. Most courses are general electives, but also a number of business electives, two social sciences and one health science elective. Plus, our Contracts course counts as Excelsior's Contract Law course.

Six of your courses are evaluated as graduate-level by NCCRS, and Excelsior's equivalency chart doesn't show any graduate-level equivalencies. Were they only evaluating the courses for possible transfer into an undergraduate program? Since master's programs don't have room for free electives, and Excelsior doesn't offer a legal studies degree program, I would expect that none of the courses would be deemed suitable for any of their existing master's programs. I'm just curious as to whether they even considered evaluating the courses for graduate transfer.

All graduate level LawShelf courses are also undergrad UL credit recommendations, and that's what Excelsior said that would accept them as. We did not discuss whether they would also transfer into Masters' level programs, though we'd be happy to do so if it's relevant for a student.
