under
Non-regionally accredited institutions listed in CHEA only
"Courses completed at a non-regionally accredited institution after a student is admitted (enrolled) into Excelsior College will not be applied to degree requirements, thus course approval will not be considered."

example:
Penn Foster
link: CHEA Database of Institutions Accredited By Recognized U.S. Accrediting Organizations

so does this mean what it sounds like ?

non-ACE courses at Penn Foster (and any other nationally accredited school) cannot be transferred into Excelsior after you are enrolled ?

CHEA is a national accreditor (not regional) so PF is an NA college. Some of their courses are ACE evaluated, so that group of courses will transfer. Non ACE courses won't.

but the non-ACE course might have transferred BEFORE you enrolled, right ?

Penn Foster is accredited by DEAC

and DEAC is one of the organizations listed in directory below

and it says courses from institutions accredited by organizations in that directory will be considered

2. Non-regionally accredited institutions listed in CHEA only – Credits submitted by individual students will be considered if the institution or its program(s) offering the courses for which the student is seeking credit were accredited at the time of the student’s attendance by an accrediting body listed in the section titled “Directory of CHEA-Recognized Organizations” in the publication Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education published by the American Council on Education, Washington, DC)

Excelsior will accept non-ACE, nationally accredited courses in limited situations, as discussed more fully in the rest of the page you linked to. What you're quoting in the first post of this thread is saying, as you are suspecting, that they'll only accept it if you completed it prior to enrolling with Excelsior (and it meets all other guidelines as well).

well that's what I thought and that's a bummer

[cookderosa]

I have a vague recollection of EC accepting some Non-RA / Non-ACE credit from a member here, but I think it required some type of action- and I can't remember if that was requested before or during enrollment. I think you might try emailing them, but the odds of your email landing on someone with that much expertise is slim.

Blue, if you are already enrolled you can talk to an adviser, EC is getting tighter and tighter in their approval of outside courses. I'm having issues with them approving math classes from my local CC

They prefer NA credits that receive title IV funding. I was just reading this on their page today.
