Are you going for a Bachelors from Excelsior College? Each and every school will have admissions standards and some are competitive, NAU isn't all that competitive, I would say they would accept your Bachelors from Excelsior or whichever school you end up with the Bachelors with because their Personalized Learning program is geared for adults or professionals already in the field and to streamline their learning - it's not all that competitive, just one word of advice, make sure you hit all their requirements! Ta-da, that's it!

Were you able to change your Excelsior BALA to a BSLA?  From reading your previous post here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-I-want-to-change-my-BALA-to-BSLA-HELP

Questions: What 7 credits did you finish with Excelsior so far?  When are you going to be working on the Capstone course?  You may want to finish 13 credits with them and get yourself an extra Associates degree from them as well if your courses line up with the requirements, if not, don't worry about it, stay the course and finish the degree.
