They will do an eval and will have it on file, so when you re-apply it will already be there. I will tell you though, that most traditional schools won't take credits older 8 yrs old. The school I teach at won't take any technical based credits or core program credits that are older than 5 yrs old so find out if they will even accept them from that long ago before you go crazy trying to figure out a way to keep them.
I'm not applying to a college. I already have a degree. I'm simply applying for my CPA certification in a different state. Anyway, I can't apply early because the state's BOA requires that applicants be residents of the state for at least six months prior to applying. Unfortunately, I can't move for another year and a half.
To the previous poster, I have 24 credits earned through CLEP. I only mentioned English Comp because I was under the impression that Excelsior did not accept it as credit. As it turns out, they do accept it.
