My advisor at Excelsior recently approved the course, Criminal Justice: Forensic Science from study.com, for me to take to fulfill my last 3 credits in my arts and science category.
That being said, I took the course and transfered it in. When I looked at my transcript, it showed up under excess credits. I reached out to my advisor, the one who initially approved the course, and she said it looks like that course comes in as a free elective, which I don't need. She said it was her fault, but they will not accept that course as an arts and science, even though she officially approved it for me! She asked if there was another class at study.com I could take to fulfill need on my transcript.
Has anyone else had an issue like this before? I spent time, effort, and money to take this class. I have the approval in writing via email and on my official Excelsior portal. Do I have any recourse, or am I just out of luck. Any advice would be appreciated.
