Don't they have specific courses in the HSEM category for you to take that can't be transferred over? *gasp* OMG! This reminds me of the BSLS degree from a while back, basically, no specific requirements! Does it show you need to do the Cornerstone/Capstone with them? How many total credits? Heck, why won't you list your evaluation from them and the courses applied...
So, I just had my evaluation done this month with Excelsior. They took a lot of my previous credits. I have a B.S. in public administration with an emphasis in intelligence studies, so some of those credits applied. I also have an M.Ed. that satisfied some elective credits. It's a completely unrelated degree, however. I'm currently enrolled in 2 other courses that will satisfy the HSEM credits through my local university, and then I just need to get the other "foo foo" UL credits out of the way. I now see I can accomplish that on Study.com.
The requirement is that I complete at least 12 credits with Excelsior, however, and that includes the Cornerstone and Capstone courses.

Not sure why they don't come up correctly when you choose "college credit" and "junior/senior," because you would think that only 300-level and 400-level courses would come up (or courses that ACE/NCCRS considers UL would be even more helpful), but you haven't gone through enough pages. When I do this, there are 14 pages of courses, and if you skip to page 14, they're almost all 300-level. So, you could go backwards.
The other thing you can do is choose courses based on subject - so narrow it down even further. Choose "college credit" and "junior/senior" and then "history" or "Psychology" or whatever subject, and there are only a few courses. You should also check ACE/NCCRS to see what they consider the courses - not all of Study.com's 300-level courses are considered UL by ACE/NCCRS, unfortunately.
Thank you for the advice. I see them now. *face palm* I wasn't being diligent about the ACE/NCCRS thing, though. I'll make sure I'm only spending my time on courses that have that designation.
