Modesto Junior College.  The Professor is now the VP of Student Services and doesn't teach it anymore.  All of his classes were very fun and interesting.

Thanks for responding. I've never seen those before and I'd would take them just because lol

It's been awhile but I remember one part of the class focusing on Voodoo and Mama Lola of New Orleans (I believe she is still alive and kicking.) Email him, I'm sure he would give you some books to read.   Big Grin

I want to get a BS in Psychology.  I enrolled early because I wanted to have an academic plan that I know would be okayed by the university.  I I'm not paying any enrollment fees or semester fees because I'll be taking more than 12 units with them this academic year (through UExcel Exams.) Thank you for your help.

You might want to confirm that UExcel exams are counted in the 12 units required to avoid avoid the enrollment fees.  I don't believe they were when I went there.  Only actual Excelsior courses counted. 

As for if they will tell you how to test out, it is unlikely they will give you a plan for testing out.  You will need to have a plan and get the courses/exams approved.  They will offer some suggestions for testing out of some specific courses if you question them enough about it.  They will automatically approve courses from Excelsior that fit the remaining requirements first.  At least that was my experience.

Good luck!

Thank you!!  Okay I will work with you all to come up with a plan. 

I was told that UExcel, and other testing out options would count by the admissions officer and I think I have that somewhere in writing.  I called asking which one to choose (Excelsior or Multi Course -Multi course being where you pay for enrollment) and I was told that the UExcel and other testing options would count towards those credits needed.  That only people coming in with less than 12 credits before they graduated should choose that option.  Was I lied to?  I haven't enrolled in any classes yet and I can change that option if necessary (I'm hoping.)  I can't get a hold of anyone today because of the holiday.  

Either way I'm gonna kick getting this Bachelors in the butt.

Girl no.. my advisor is Samantha at Excelsior and I told her exactly what i wanted to do and she basically emailed me a game plan on how to achieve it.  Just tell you advisor your goal and ask how can you make it happen. Thats their job and thats what they want to do so they are their to help you. Samantha referred me to take most of my course i can at straighterline than move to either clep or study.com

100% agree!  I did the same with my Excelsior Advisor.  I had different issues, but he came thru. Big Grin
