Roadmap for BSLA thru Excelsior

[dfrecore]

Thanks for the link - I checked that out.

... or you can use Adv Tech Writing (from Study.com) as your Written Comp II requirement - and get some UL credit in there to boot.

I really like the sound of that one!

Study.com has some UL (and LL) Education courses, although not the exact one you're looking at.  Coopersmith also has some UL and LL ECE courses that might sound interesting, and I think they are all $150.

I haven't checked Coopersmith out ... I'll have to do that!

So COSC requires that you have 9 credits prior to applying ... I couldn't find that Excelsior has something similar but I could have missed it. Does anyone know if they do? (And before someone points it out, no, I don't have a GED or equivalent. Somehow I think they'd frown on a homeschool diploma from the 80's - even if my parents had given me one.)

Which leads to my next question ... when you apply with a 'plan' such as I have, will they give a yea or nay to the projected courses? If nays are given, will they help you come up with something similar, or is that up to you, and then do you have to apply again? That part is all kind of fuzzy for me.

First, if you have a high school diploma (even if it's homeschool), that's valid and a better than a GED.  It's as valid as a high school diploma from any public school in the country.  Many times, there is no way they can differentiate between a homeschool diploma or any other kind.

Second, I don't know that you submit a plan to someone.  Mostly here on this forum, we just choose a plan and get started.  For COSC and EC, most people submit their transcripts when they're at 114-120 credits and are looking to take the cornerstone (COSC) and/or capstone (both).  For TESU, most people apply at some point and submit transcripts to lock in their catalog - because TESU makes the most changes so you really do need to do that.  COSC and EC charge fees for being enrolled, so it's better to wait.
