However, we will not accept the core requirements through them including A&P, Microbiology, Lifespan Psychology, or Sociology. English is a requirement we have taken from them before. We advise waiting until enrolled to register for anything new you are trying to take outside of Excelsior. We will not give approval in the admissions phase for outside schools/credits. Once enrolled, an Academic advisor would work with you to give you the approvals. But again, this is a requirement we have accepted. We will only accept a max of up to 7 credits from straighterline towards the general education requirements, which would be a max of 2 courses total from them."
This is the first time I hear that Excelsior only accept 7 credits from SL. I already enrolled in the SL English composition course and I don't want to waste my time or money on tests that will not be accepted. Can anyone enrolled in Excelsior confirm for me if SL English composition satisfys their English requirement please.
I appreciate any help that you can provide.
Excuse my French, but WHAT THE HELL??
They will only take a maximum of 7 SL credits???
