Excelsior - working my last nerve!! One more thing and I'm moving to TESC.

I can't remember how the honors thing was calculated... I'll go back and look when I have some time.

Honors are based on your overall GPA of having 60 graded credits for baccalaureate graduates, and 30 for associate graduates.

Associate Degrees

Honors 3.5 – 3.74
High Honors 3.75 – 3.89
Highest Honors 3.9 and above

Baccalaureate Degrees (Latin Honors)

Cum Laude 3.5 – 3.74
Magna Cum Laude 3.75 – 3.89
Summa Cum Laude 3.9 and above

Excelsior College | Academic Honors

I don't know if it has been changed, but I remember reading somewhere that EC wouldn't give honors to those who receive a B.S in Liberal Arts also.

So think about it for a moment, you'll jump ship based on one credit, this so called "advisor" you are talking to at Excelsior is more than likely an enrollment councilor who isn't even in the school you are trying to enroll in.

The "school" within Excelsior for example "business & technology" "liberal arts" will be the ones evaluating your credits, I had to go back and forth with a syllabus for one of my five credit classes in order to get it, well worthwhile in my opinion. You can go onto the school website and check the advisors listed for your "school" and ask to speak with one particular person. There are 38,000 students enrolled at Excelsior which is many times that of TESC, most Excelsior students have never heard of testing out and advisors don't normally field questions on this matter often. In general customer service isn't great in many places but appears to be worse at my local community college than at Excelsior, particularly if you provide good customer service yourself in your current position.

Since enrolling in Excelsior I request that the exams I'm going to take are added to my MAP so that I have it in writing that they approved them. I just did this three days ago with a CLEP and a DSST without any issues.

Exactly. Until you have received your official evaluation (not the preliminary evaluation, and paid your enrollment fee), you are being directed to enrollment counselors. Not Excelsior advisors. Once you enroll, the experience change, as you are then directed to your advisor for all your inquiries.
