Hi All...
I thought I'd give you all the latest information from Excelsior regarding the Information Literacy requirement. I contacted EC and was told by my adviser that they "may" accept an IL course from another institution - however, the complete syllabus must be submitted in advance, which can take weeks for approval. The only truly accepted IL course is from EC itself, and it is approved and can be started almost immediately after registration...I bit the bullet, signed up and completed the entire course in TWO DAYS - a miracle for a snail like me, but I'm desperately trying to move myself along at a faster pace.
The big downside is the cost....an ASTRONOMICAL $465 for the 1 credit....Ahhhhhhhhhhh, my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the price:ack:...
Yes, it's official, everyone in my family is receiving a box of toothpicks for Christmas.:p
