All testing with Regis is pass/fail but they do not post cleps or dantes on transcripts, they are listed under Regis course names. Based on what I have read in previous posts Excelsior does not accept any cleps to meet their English requirement, so my question (if have not made it confusing enough) is if Excelsior would transfer the Regis English requirement that was originally a clep? I have spoken with someone at Excelsior and the person I spoke with was not a counselor and could not give me information until I applied. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Hi mjno,
Welcome to the IC forum and congrats on finally making that first post!
I also transferred from Regis University to Excelsior for the Business degree, and I can tell you this much from MY experience:
I also took the 6-credit CLEP Freshman College Composition exam while still at Regis Univ. Excelsior applied 3 of these credits to the Humanities section of my transcript. So at the very least, you aren't going to LOSE all of the credits for that exam.
Regarding skwiggey's post stating that he thinks that Excelsior will "accept something from your school stating that you met the written english requirement for the school that you are sending transcripts from", I would be interested to see if that is true (I hope that it IS!).
The reason I say that is because Regis Univ. accepted an Intermediate Algebra class I took years ago as meeting THEIR requirement for College Algebra, so it is now listed on my Regis transcript as College Algebra. As a result, I felt confident that Excelsior would accept this as also meeting THEIR requirements. No dice! No matter how much I argued with them that a reputable university like Regis accepted it as College Algebra, they still wouldn't budge. So I truly hope for your sake that getting a letter from Regis about the WER requirement will do the trick, but thought I'd better mention what my own experience was. Who knows? This might be a totally different situation, in which case I will feel like an idiot!!
Let us know how it goes okay?
JoAnne
