Credits per IT exam/certification at Excelsior? - BrandeX - 10-29-2011

Didn't they used to list on the website, or in one of the PDF's how much credit was awarded for various IT exams and certifications? I am not seeing it anywhere at the moment.

I don't know anything about ECE, but I recall something like that on ACE's web site.

You're right. It was in the Student Guide to Credit by Exam, but I don't see it in the new one (at least not with the same detailed breakdown of credits awarded).

Here:

School Catologs - excelsior.edu

Or listed here:

Credit for IT Certifications - excelsior.edu

If anybody finds it again, please let us know.

ACE, as suggested above, should be a really good substitute.

Unfortunatelt, ACE is not a sufficient substitute as it is missing several certifications that EC (ECE is an exam, not a school btw) gives credit for; for example CompTIA certs and the ICDL.

Is there anyone here who still has an older pdf copy of the credit by exam booklet that could host it online?

I was just wondering the same thing yesterday. I went back and forth between the catalog and the IT cert webpage trying to figure out if I was overlooking something. If you send an email, they might give you an answer.

Wonderful, thanks! And you uploaded it to one of the few direct d/l sites not blocked by the gov. here or blocking access themselves from here, better yet Smile

Considering the current catalog has an out-of-place blank page in the spot where the credit values should be, I'd wager someone made an error when prepping the latest edition of the catalog.

Possibly intentionally so; the catalog version I uploaded came not long after EC removed Subject GRE tests as credit-bearing. The blank page in this version of the catalog used to have the Subject GRE info.

Students remain subject to the policies extant at the time of their enrollment, unless policy changes may favour them, etc Smile
