I'm confused. Is this the Portland CC in Oregon, with the quarter hours?
I'm reading that the OP needs both WR121 (4 credits) and either WR 122 or WR 227 (4 hours), then the math requirement.
That would equal $836.
BTW the minimum amount of credits to get an AA at PCC is 90 quarter hours. You'd graduate with 99 quarter hours, which isn't terrible.

You need:
WR121 (3 cr)
and
College Math CLEP = MTH105 (4 cr)
Your tuition rate is $92, so you're looking at $276 tuition and $100 for the CLEP = $376
So as you can see, there's no reason to go elsewhere for your AA.

Yes, this is the Portland CC is Oregon. I should have put that in.

He has the option of using the CLEP exam for math, but not writing. If he took math instead of the CLEP, it would cost more.

So, with the Excelsior Social Science degree would I only need 30 upper level credits?

Do you have semester credits or quarter credits? If it is quarter credits, you will need to convert them to semester credits to determine how many you need.

If you have 99 quarter hours you need to convert them to semester hours and then fill in the requirements. You would need more then just the 30 upper level to equal 120 or whatever the total requirement is for the program.

"Unit of Credit
Excelsior College operates on a trimester calendar. One unit of credit is equivalent to one semester credit. A unit of credit earned at colleges on the quarter-hour system will be multiplied by two-thirds to produce the semester credit equivalent (i.e., one quarter-hour equals two-thirds of a semester credit). All other credit-hour systems listed on other college transcripts will be researched and converted to semester credit equivalents."

You have around 66 semester hours of credit, of course it will depend on exactly how the receiving school posts your specific record. I had this problem when finishing my degree at COSC, I ended up scrambling to earn 2.65 semester hours of credit at the last minute because of it.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

So here's the million dollar question. When you listed your classes, how many credits was each? 4 or 3?

Most of them were 3 credits, a few were 4.
