Excelsior Credit Problem

[jobee]

I had a similar problem, and the adviser moved it for me into the correct bucket. Woo hoo, no new classes to take! They will want to help you, but if they can't you can always write a letter to the Dean with a reason on why you want the change.

Your request sounds reasonable to me.

I just received a message from my EC adviser saying that I will be short 3 LL credits in Literature (my major) after I finish the last exams on my list.

Perplexed, I examined my latest status report. I scored high enough on the Literature in English GRE to earn 12 LL and 12 UL credits. Three of the Lower Level credits would duplicate with the Humanities CLEP.

I put my degree plan together on the assumption that EC would subtract the credits from the Humanities CLEP and give me the overlapping credits in my major. They subtracted the credits from my major, leaving the extra three credits under humanities (where I don't need them).

Am I just crazy, or might EC be willing to change this? Should I just suck up and take the extra class?

Thankye,
R.
