Hey everyone (first post here!), I have a little bit of info to shed on this matter.
I took the GRE for psych in April planning on using it for credit. I had not enrolled previously, so undoubtedly this thread got me nervous. I immediately submitted an application and received the following information: None of the six advisors I spoke with knew anything about a GRE policy change. They knew of the Capstone requirement coming up, but nothing about GRE's. (they very well could not be allowed to talk about it, however).
After telling an advisor I was still a little nervous about hypothetically not being able to enroll in time due to the transcript mailing and eval process, she said I could waive the initial eval, enroll within a week with no credits under my name and secure the current policies as long as I do not have a re-enroll event. Since the policy would be set, I could receive full gre credit even after a policy change if it were to happen.
In the end, I felt I studied way to hard and this is too good of an opportunity to take any kind of chance. If you are sure you want to use GRE's through Excelsior, it may be wise to err on the side of caution by enrolling asap without the 3-6 eval process.
