BS in Psychology - Cheap and Fast (and dirty)

[dfrecore]

Hi dfrecore,
I was a student at Excelsior from 2015-2017 and received the study.com affiliate student services fee discount price of $225 per year even though I didn’t take any classes from Excelsior. The $1095 enrollment fee wasn’t charged in the 1st year. It was not owed until you apply for graduation.. but that makes no difference to the final cost of it haha.
I wasn’t trying to argue with you at all and you are right about the pros and cons of each school, but just sharing to clarify. I’m definitely not trying to promote excelsior.. I felt that they are less flexible about what they will accept and I am at TESU now.

It's strange, since they specifically say on their website that you can't get the discount, but glad to hear from an actual student about the fees.

BTW - I'm not sure that they wouldn't come back when you applied for graduation, rescind the discount since you didn't take the required courses, and charge that amount to people.  Here's what it says on their website:

Enrollment Fee (online course option)

$0*
*Students who do not complete the required number of Excelsior course credits before graduation will be switched to the Multi-Source option and charged the Multi-Source enrollment fee of $1095.

Tuition (per credit)

$410*
Non-Partner Price $510
Partners save $100 per credit
[i]*Tuition per credit reverts to the non-partner rate if the student does not complete a minimum of twelve (12) Excelsior College online course credits.[/i]

[i]Student Services Annual Fee

$0*
[i]*Partnership students who do not complete at least six (6) Excelsior College online course credits each year will be charged a nominal $225 annual fee.[/i][/i]

[i][i]Graduation Fee (one time)

$130*
Non-Partner Price $495
Partners save $365
[i]*The Enrollment and Graduation Fees revert to the non-partner rate if the student does not complete a minimum of twelve (12) Excelsior College online course credits prior to completion of a degree program.
In the event the graduation fee reverts to the non-partner rate, this fee will be reduced by $15 per academic credit for each undergraduate Excelsior College course successfully completed.[/i][/i][/i]
