Excelsior: Information Literacy and Research and Writing

[sanantone]

Each school at EC generally accepts college credits differently. I took information literacy at my state college for a graded credit, only to have it accepted during the preliminarily and denied during the official evaluation at EC; which is the only evaluation that matters. I also took research methods at Liberty University only for EC to deny it as a requirement to fulfill the research and writing credit.

Unless you are an enrolled student at Excelsior College you are generally dealing with "admission counselors" who typically know very little about each schools policies and how things are handled. You are better off reading the school website, going through the catalogs then talking to admission counslors.
Once you are enrolled things change drastically, as you are then given your very own academic advisor who is the one who evaluates your credits; decides what credits will be accepted ect. Generally anything you may have problems with in regard to getting things handled at the school your academic advisor can pretty much do. Which is one of the things I really liked about the college as you are able to talk to the person who decides what credits will be accepted. Anytime I had issues academically I received emails back the same day, or the next day if it was after hours; or just calling the school of liberal arts gets things handled fast.

Thanks. The issue is that I wouldn't want to pay over $1,000 to enroll only to later find out that I need to take an additional course that costs $1,530.
