Any help with both questions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Mike,
You can rant all you want to in this forum! That's one of the things we're here for.
First of all, you can absolutely go ahead and enroll with just the 9 credits from Regis University. In fact, you could enroll now even if you
didn't have any credits, so that is not an issue. You can even go ahead and order the official CLEP and DANTES transcripts now - you don't have to wait until you are finished enrolling to order those. It will just mean that Excelsior cannot give you an "official evaluation" until they have ALL of these transcripts, but it shouldn't stop you from enrolling.
I am very sorry that you had that experience with Excelsior, and I agree with you 100% that they need to make this policy more clear. When I transferred from Regis University, I had to order my transcripts for the CLEP's I had already taken, along with the transcript from Regis (even though the CLEP's were listed on my Regis transcript).
I personally don't expect that you should have any further problems with the advisors once you are fully enrolled - based on my experience anyway. I always found that when I left a message in the "inbox" for the Excelsior Business Team Advisors (through the MyEC area), that they got back to me within 24 hours every time. Christine Foley was always great to deal with, so I would be surprised if your experience differs from mine.
Try not to get discouraged! This was only a "bump in the road" on the way to earning your degree...even though I know it was frustrating to deal with.
I hope this helps,
JoAnne
