Should I enroll or wait? Excelsior degree plan help.

[Kima]

Hello to all thank you in advance.  I've been in process of sending my transcripts to Excelsior and TESU.  Excelsior has awarded me more credits than TESU so it seems more logical that I use them.  Can anyone help me map out the rest of the classes I need to take or should I just bite the bullet and enroll.  As many here money is tight so I am trying to finish this without spending more than I need to.

If you're trying to save money I would hold off on enrolling.  Excelsior charges a fee for every year you're enrolled.  So it's better to wait until you're sure you're within a year of completion to enroll.

Excelsior accepts any credits that fit into your degree plan that are recommended for credit by either ACE or NCCRS.  So there is are a wide range of education providers to choose from - Clep/DSST/Straighterline/SDC/Davar/Coopersmith/Sophia/OnlineDegree.com plus others.  

OnlineDegree.com has a few free courses that fit into your gen ed requirements:
Natural Science:

https://www.onlinedegree.com/free-course...yrosphere/
Social Science:

For me Excelsior accepted the principles of statistics DSST to satisfy the math requirement.  Otherwise they'll require college algebra or above.  They also recommended the Information Literacy course from Davar as an affordable option.  I took it and was able to complete it in a weekend.  

Good luck on your journey!
