excelsior problems

[originalbigjim]

well guys I am nearing the end of the road with excelsior and I guess it would not be complete with out a few bumps, but these bumps are really getting to me. I actually have a few problems at this point. First of which and probably the biggest is they are saying now that I have 12 more credits to complete and last may they said I had only 15 credits and I have taken 12 since then. After calling them and trying to figure out why, after an hour on the phone is it still unclear what changed causing me to all of a sudden have to an additional 12 credits. The staff was very helpful and polite and I am not trying to put them down in any way, the particular person I spoke to said there is some discrepancies in my file and she is going to review them to ensure the correctness of their statements and this may take a few days to do. I hope it works out that I will only need 3 more credits instead of 12 . The second thing that bothered me is the new requirement for research writing , another 1 credit class i presume will be as useful as their information literacy course but while reading the catalog I read you can submit a paper and get that class waved but I had to bring that up to her, I don't see why they don't automatically tell you that. I have been enrolled as an associates student there for about a year and could not enroll for a bachelors program until my AAT was conferred, so now I am not locked in to the old degree plan, and they told me previously this would not be an issue but i guess things change. NOW on top of all this they call me at 730 at night to try and tell me that my GPA on my associates degree they already gave me may be incorrect and that I may not have graduated with high honors and only honors. I am not sure they can take back a the award they already gave me, either way I am not worried about it but a little irritated. anyways does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to help me in my battle for my degree? and maybe to insure they dont take away my high honors, thanks
