Should I challenge my Advisor at EC? My advisor is making me take a UEXCEL course.

I need a little help. I have tested out of 33 credits in the last 2 months, and I am down to the College Composition Requirement, and the Capstone for a BS in Liberal Arts at EC. EC has accepted a UL English Composition course from New School for Social Research. I asked my advisor for advice on the easiest way to complete the College Composition Requirement which would be a LL english composition.
My advisor's response was that I was required to take the UEXCEL College composition course. I asked the advisor if they would consider accepting the College Composition from CLEP, or the Business Writing from DSST. The advisor stated no; they would only accept the UEXCEL .

I have taken several UEXCEL courses and I have received A's but the questions are written in such a way that they try draw the student into the wrong answer. Since I am so close to completion I did not want to chance a failure as I learned all those grammar rules a long time ago.

I have been studying for the CLEP. Should I let this slide or should I challenge my advisor?

Many Thanks in advance!!!

I enrolled at EC in 2014 and submitted SL's Comp I and Comp II as my 6 credit Written English Requirement. Both were accepted.

I too am at a point where I do not want to jeopardize my GPA, so for me, pass/fail courses with Straighterline were the way to go.

Good Luck!
