The cost of taking the exams is spread out over the length of your studies. This is one reason why I limited the number of exams I took in any given month. Three exams for $180 per month has been manageable, but 10 exams for $600 per month would not have been sustainable.
Excelsior enrollment and graduation fees are approximately $1,500. So it is possible to save a little bit of money each month while you are taking your exams towards the fees. That way you will have most of the required money on hand by the time you are ready to enroll/graduate.
If not, the remaning amount, in excess of what you have saved, could probably be charged to a credit card and paid off ASAP thereafter.
It's totally doable without financial aid...although I do understand that a student loan might be preferable to some.
If all else fails, call your parents and ask them for money! We are COLLEGE KIDS after all.
