ENEB Master Thread

[michaeladsmith2]

I want to provide an update regarding a detailed 45-minute discussion I had with ECE today. The Evaluator from their team reached out to me to clarify some important details pertaining to my situation. Here’s the background I’ve shared before:

1. I’m currently working on completing my US Bachelor's degree through the generous 113-credit transfer program at Excelsior University.

2. After transferring around 60 US credits, my plan is to utilize the ENEB Master's program to gain additional Bachelors-level credits to transfer more credits to Excelsior. This is possible because ECE evaluated the ENEB program as equivalent to a US regionally accredited Bachelor's degree, classifying the upper division credits at 2.5 credits each. Fortunately, Excelsior has confirmed that these 2.5 credits from the FCE report satisfy the 3-credit requirement for their courses.

3. However, it’s essential to note that ECE and Excelsior have an agreement stating that Excelsior will only accept the Subject Analysis Report for any Spain transfer credits. The entire report costs $365.00, which is mentioned on ECE's Excelsior Page.

Now, here’s what I learned from my conversation with the ECE Evaluator today:

1. ECE no longer accepts ENEB transcripts because ENEB is not an officially registered center in the Ministry of Education's RUCT directory. As we know, ENEB is affiliated with Universidad Isabel I, which does not issue transcripts.

To conduct my Subject Analysis Report for Excelsior, ECE now requires the Ui1 diplomas. These diplomas are accepted as they include an Electronic Document Evaluation Code on the second page.

However, there is a key stipulation. Since ENEB transcripts previously provided grades for each course and are now deemed invalid, evaluations must now rely solely on Ui1 diplomas, which list the courses but do not provide individual grades. ECE can only evaluate these diplomas with each course now receiving a designation of [S] for Satisfactory or [P] for Pass.

The implication here is that if the report indicates an [S] for all courses, it corresponds to grades A, B, or C, which Excelsior accepts as transferable credits for Upper Division Bachelor's courses (300 & 400 level). The designation [P] for Pass could imply a grade of D, which US institutions typically do not accept. Spain lacks a 'D' grade in its grading system, thus using [S] ensures that all courses will be recognized as 3-credit courses for transfer.

I expect to receive my Subject Analysis Report from ECE by early next week, and I’ll be sure to upload it and keep you updated.
