My unofficial evaluation from Excelsior states that I need to take 18 hours lower level in any area. If I am transferring in nearly 100 hours, all from a state university, will they allow me to take community college courses to complete the degree requirements? I am interested in a few from Clovis. Thanks!
As Brian stated, lower-level credits can come from any acceptable source...CLEP, DANTES, or other exams, community college courses, portfolio evaluation, etc.
If all 18 hours can be lower level in any area, use FEMA credits! It will cost you $380 to establish a TESC credit bank but all FEMA credits are free. Then transfer the credits from the TESC bank to Excelsior. You could easily do all 18 credits in less than a week. Pug
You know, I have read on here about FEMA credits, but it just seems too good to be true! Are there no cautions at all? I can just choose any that seem easy, or do I take them in a certain order? Excelsior has no problems with any of them? For any degree plan? My degree will be in Sociology. I would have no trouble setting up the credit bank with TESC even if I don't plan to take courses with them? Are the FEMA courses finished completely online? Thanks for any help, guys.
Re: Re: excelsior lower level credits I forget, can FEMA credits go towards any LL area or just applied professional?
Re: Re: Re: excelsior lower level credits They are applied professional credits. But if I understand Wilder corectly, he needs 18 hours in any lower level area. If that's the case, applied science courses will work. Pug
No, TESC has no issue with establishing a credit bank and not taking courses with them. I have a TESC credit bank and have booked about 35 FEMA credits. Excelsior will take the credits as long as they come via TESC. There are numerous threads about this you can read. Michael Gates is the supreme authority on it. The FEMA courses do not have to be taken in any particular order. Yes, they are all done completely online. A few require a CDROM but you can skip those. Remember, you only need 18! The following is a list of course numbers that are accepted at Excelsior: EDM 101 - IS001 EDM 102 - IS002 EDM 103 - IS007 EDM 107 - IS230 EDM 120 - IS120 EDM 121 - IS324 EDM 122 - IS288 EDM 123 - IS195 EDM 124 - IS275 EDM 126 - IS208 EDM 130 - IS279 EDM 140 - IS393 EDM 154 - IS005 EDM 155 - IS346 EDM 172 - IS301 EDM 190 - IS008 EDM 191 - IS010 EDM 192 - IS011 EDM 193 - IS111 EDM 200 - IS292 EDM 203 - IS139 EDM 207 - IS240 EDM 208 - IS241 EDM 209 - IS242 EDM 210 - IS244 EDM 221 - IS630 EDM 222 - IS600 EDM 223 - IS015 EDM 224 - IS235 EDM 225 - IS631 EDM 232 - IS386 EDM 240 - IS009 EDM 241 - IS394 EDM 242 - IS271 EDM 290 - IS632 EDM 303 - IS513 EDM 399 - IS003 Course numbers on the left represent the name of the course for which you will receive academic credit. The course numbers to the right represent the FEMA course numbers. Some of the courses may no longer be available.
