Please help! I desperately need an alternative to a course

[leeloodallas]

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.  

How hard did you push them on this issue?  Based on what you wrote, it sounds like you just quietly appealed.  If I were in your shoes, I would be more aggressive.  You could emphasize that the fact that they did approve it before and then protest the fact that they decided to change now after you put all that time into studying? Not very fair, especially when you had pressing personal issues. You could also stress that you are seriously looking into leaving Excelsior and going to TESU which means they lose $. These arguments may persuade them to reverse back to their original approval.

I messaged them back saying they had approved it before (they approved it twice before actually!), and how there has been no change to the NCCRS evaluation, so why are they denying it now? I also sent screenshots of where it was approved before.  I also mentioned that I'd been studying for it already.
The advisor said she sent it to her supervisor, and they sent me copies of the Excelsior course description vs the Davar one.  They said based on those they will not  [emphasis theirs] approve the Davar course.  
I'm not a very aggressive person at all, and I usually just take no for an answer in all facets of life.  I'll try your suggestion and tell them if they can't accept the Davar course or Penn foster's corporate finance course, they will delay my expected graduation timeline by several months, so I am looking into leaving Excelsior for TESU.
