Hi everyone,
I've been working on a BS Finance degree from Excelsior, and I was in the home stretch with only 7 courses/exams and the capstone left till I finish.
One of the Finance AOS requirements is Advanced Financial Management, and Excelsior had previously approved for me to take Davar's FIN401 Corporate Finance to fulfill that requirement.
Approvals at Excelsior last for 6 months, then they expire off the list and you have to request them again. My approval expired on Sept 9th, and I've been studying for the exam but haven't taken it yet. When I requested to re-add Davar FIN401, I was denied, and I was told that it could only apply to the lower level general business core Financial Management requirement. I did appeal this, but was denied again by the supervisor.
I've already taken Penn Foster Financial Management for the business core. My degree requirements haven't changed (I am enrolled and locked into a degree plan); and the NCCRS evaluation hasn't changed for FIN401 since I was previously approved in March 2017. Regardless of this, Excelsior was clear they won't accept the course now. I *know* this is my fault for not finishing it earlier, but I was dealing with personal and family issues and was doing the best I could.
I'm devastated as I absolutely don't have the money or time to take the Advanced Financial Management class directly from Excelsior. I've also wasted a ton of time studying for the Davar exam. I was depending on this exam.
I was hoping someone might know of another course or exam that would work for Advanced Financial Management?
Would it be better to switch to TESU? I can list what classes/exams I've taken. I just paid my annual enrollment fee to Excelsior last month but will switch if necessary
Thank you for reading.
