Unfortunately, no, as I had met both the community college and State of Florida university system requirements, as well as the courses were online. I wrote to the professor for the Professional and Technical Writing class I took and she responded that she did not keep them either but she had written to the online courses administrator to see if they kept the items that came to her via drop box.
She was also confused as her course is one of the harder ones at that level and required MLA and there were 2 major assignments and she said that as a student who had obtained an A in her course she knew I had to have done well on those papers as they made up the bulk of her grades.
Anyway, I called Penn Foster and they have no problem but it is another $90 x 3 credits or $270 which includes texts. You can work at your own pace, but I did not want to spend that money right now. My employer is requiring certain college courses to keep employed. Taking 2 of them this term to the tune of over $1200, and in the spring for another $500-$600. Ouch--
Anyway, I called this morning and asked whether EC will accept the StraighterLine / Fort Hayes credits and they are to let me know. Nothing heard today. If they say yes, I will sign on and get that done as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I may just wait -- as the first course I have to take with UWF required me to purchase the APA book as they will have writing requirements. I may just wait and submit them once graded. That course starts Aug 24 and will be over by the middle of October.
Unless anyone else has any other ideas....I'm open to suggestions.

P.S. -- NOTE to any prospective Excelsior College students: they are NOT accepting CLEP Eng Comp with essay, not even as a humanities, and other composition courses that are professional, business, technical related are also not applied to their WER, only to Applied Professional. The first e-mail I received regarding the CLEP clearly stated that they are not accepting it at all but, if requested, they will list it on their transcript in case another school might accept it.
