1) Did you have to supply your international credentials to Excelsior in 2016 or your previous schools?
2) Which graduate program are you applying for? Are there other comparable programs around?
3) From the looks of things, you just took college/university courses and the capstone at Excelsior. Right?
4) Is that school accepting your Excelsior and other college courses? Wouldn't an international credit evaluation service work?
5) Most transcripts from overseas schools are in another language, it needs to be transcribed/translated anyways...
6) Did you ask the school for more info if you can/can't get the transcripts? Did they respond back?
7) Which country/school did you go to? Which degree did you complete? If you didn't complete one, how far along were you?
Thank you for your response,
1) yes, I did.
2) Physician Assistant masters program, but all programs are likely to ask for international transcripts as well.
3) Yes, as I transferred a lot of credits.
4) Grad school is accepting Excelsior college BS degree w/o issues, they simply require you supply them with transcripts of all colleges attended.
5) My international transcripts were in English and were evaluated by ECE and WES 10 years ago, but those evals are now expired and I need to request new evals.
6) I called all PA programs I'm planning to apply to and they all said the same thing; I need the darn transcripts.
7) Cairo University medical school in Egypt, but I never completed my degree. I completed three years of study in that school.
I hope that clears things a bit.
Thank you.

Hello,
I think I will go for a BS in psychology with Excelsior, but I will NOT use the international credits for that degree to make sure I don't face the same issue when I obtain the psych degree and use to apply to grad school. So after graduating with a BS in psychology, the transcripts submitted to grad school won't reflect any international credits. I hope that makes sense.

I agree. I find it extremely likely that a second bachelor's will not help with the transcript problem. You will probably still have to supply the transcripts, or convince the Master's program to allow you to omit them.
Hello,
Would you please elaborate why a second degree won't eliminate the transcript problem?
Thank you.

Why would they accept your second degree but not your first degree? What credits came from the school that won't give you transcripts? It looks like all of your credits came from here in the US, and were transferred to EC for a degree, so I'm just not understanding what you need to give the school? It's confusing.
I apologize for the confusion. There are 41 science credits in my EC degree that I forgot to add to the list. I'm hoping if I get a second BS degree without ever using those 41 international credits I won't need to supply the international transcripts to the grad school.
Thank you.
