Excelsior Research And Writing Requirement

[ImustStudy]

I just found out today that I now must complete the Excelsior Research and Writing Requirement.

This was not a requirement when I registered and now they decide to spring it on me.

Has anyone taken this at Excelsior? If so, how fast can I get it done? Is it like the Info Literacy class that I finished in 63 minutes?

Has anyone taken it anywhere else for cheaper? Like at Penn Foster Etc?

Please help. This is getting a bit frustrating as Excelsior decides to add classes at their pleasure, despite the fact that I am already matriculated.

They have now told me that each time I add more classes to my transcript that they can "re-matriculate" me every time I add another class. Can thisd be correct??Anyone have a friend at Excelsior that can help me??

I've been wondering about this, since my advisors have to check with EC's evaluation specialists to tell me why fulfilled requirements are reappearing on my evaluation summary!

If Historiography meets the Research Writing req, so should the BYU Family History Research courses. (400-level history courses.) When I was still trying to complete a double-major, these course were approved as equivalent to EC's Historiography. (And genealogy can be interesting, especially as you move further back into history.)

It's unusual to change requirements mid-stream, but not unheard of. My local university makes students re-apply to their programs if they aren't finished within a certain number of years (it's either five or seven.)

There's always COSC or TESC if EC becomes impossible to deal with.

I don't know -- I haven't taken it yet! It's in for the next round (Midwest Family History Research) but I wanted to clear a few things off my plate before adding anything else.

I am about to jump into their BLS since I'm almost there and after seeing this post, I remember something about this in their guide. Is this a new req't for ALL degrees? I hope they don't become like TESC, their customer service is unbearable to me. I'd be real close for a BA in Lib Studies through them and I live in NJ 30 mins away. My fees wouldn't be ridiculously high, I think I may have to swallow my pride. I am very close to an AS in Environmental Science as well through them. Great, just what I need, more choices. Thanks for the reminder.
