    Has anyone else enrolled at Excelsior noticed a change in course search? I am almost done with my degree, but need to retake Calculus this summer as mine is too old for the MBA program I am planning to attend next fall. I ran a course search at Excelsior and got results from only three schools and no option to search distance learn. Athabasca, which used to be on their preferred list, doesn't come up, nor does LSU, both of which have courses with "calculus" in the title. What is up with changing and limiting course search? Has anyone else noticed this?

    I hope it is a temporary fluke, because course search is what sold me on Excelsior and the reason I recommend them to others.

    I don't like the new search at all! Seems the issue is here:

    You might have some luck checking the DANTES DL course catalog.

    yeah, the new searching sucks. Plus, they got rid of the Distance Learn Database

    This is an email I got from them

    "James-

    The Distance Learn Database is no longer available on the Course Search tool. The Course Search
    searches our list of courses that have already been reviewed by Excelsior College advisors to
    ensure that they meet our requirements. However, if you contact your advisor they will be able
    to search the Distance Learn Database and make suggestions for the course you are looking to
    take."


    here are some math courses offered by SUNY (State Universities of New York) over the summer

    I don't know how much it'll be since you're out of state
