Hello all,
I have a question regarding if the people at Excelsior really try to help?
Here is my story. I am currently a student at Regis University and wanted to transfer to Excelsior, (BSGB), because, like many others, I wish to save both time and money and use the money that I saved for a graduate school. So, based on many recommendations I decided to try and transfer. This I thought would be an easy task; so far I am very wrong.
The first thing I did was call and speak to someone in admissions and they sent me to a counselor who told me that all I had to have was an application, an application fee and my sealed transcripts from Regis and she would send me the application, she did. I also explained to the counselor that the transcripts would read 48 credits by examination, 9 by classes and would list what cleps and dantes that I have taken, but I would like to be enrolled before September before the changes that were coming in the Business degree program, (by the way thanks JoAnne), and she said its not a problem. The counselor advised me to send in the transcripts with the app to expedite things and it would be alright. (So far ok). After I received the application I filled it out and called again and spoke to a different advisor to make sure that what the first counselor said was true and she agreed that all I needed to do was what the first counselor said to do. About a week went by and I took a look at their web site (I am registered) and look through the transcript received part and find out they are waiting for dantes transcripts. I called and first spoke to someone in records who verified what I saw on the web site. When I asked the lady in records what they were looking for she said that she did not know and transferred me to a counselor who also could not answer my question. The counselor then sent me to admissions and finally the person there told me that I would have to have original transcripts from cleps and dantes (that are on my Regis transcript) sent in to Excelsior. So I happen to ask if they ordered the clep/dantes transcripts and she told me that it was up to the student to do that. I also tried to explain what the other counselors had told me and she could only refer me to a supervisorâs voice mail. My frustration is that the above was not explained properly in the beginning by two counselors and Excelsior did not communicate to me that I needed to get my original clep/dantes transcripts which I happen to find by accident.
I know this seems like a long rant but my first question is if the above is what I can expect if I enroll at Excelsior.
I am also not a person to just whine about something without trying to think of a solution; so my second question is (if anyone can answer it) would I be able to enroll with just the 9 or so credits that they have, then once enrolled can I send the other 48 clep/dantes transcripts.
Any help with both questions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
