Itâs been a long time since I checked in here. I need to get some information from the Excelsior experts in the room. My wife is trying to complete an AA through Excelsior. I believe she has all here credits except for the information literacy (1cr) requirement. I think I have read in previous forum posts that this class can be satisfied with the Penn Foster course. Is this information still accurate? If so how do you sign up for just one class? Iâve checked out the website and there is only a 1-800 number to call. I remember past post on this forum listed names and numbers of people at Penn Foster but Iâm not sure if they are still good contact as these posts are dated.

Call and ask to speak to Mary-Beth, she'll help you. This one credit course is only $75.00.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Yep, they still accept it at EC, and its pretty much cake. And the exams are not proctored anymore, so that's a bonus.

Hey--just so you know, COC still has the LMTECH 100 Introduction to Research class--and it's entirely on-line now. So, if $$$ are an issue at all, the course would only be $26 plus whatever small fees there are. It took a month when I did (it was blended at the time) and was a decent class. It looks like it's still taught by the same instructor. So, if you can wait for the next semester to start, there's another option.

Thanks Michael - She wants to finish this class ASAP so she is going w/ Penn Foster... I always forget about COC as a cheap local option...
