Straighterline to Excelsior

[NAP]

...... at this time and strongly suggested that I take their credit-bearing orientation course first. The course cost $750.00, that's not what I'm trying to do. I am trying to save money and only take the CAPSTONE and INL required classes at Excesior. ......

Can you tell us more about this orientation course? Do you have a link? The only orientation course that I am aware of is non-credit, free, and only takes a few hours to learn about the school and resources they offer to their students. It is called CCS 100: EC Student Experience. It is a good place to start.

Nevermind I think I found it - CCS 120 EC Student Success Seminar: https://www.excelsior.edu/undergraduate-...ientations

It looks like they are using the Student Seminar and the English requirement to make sure you and other new students have a good foundation.

Keep trying to work with your advisor. Since you have one, it is important to take advantage of all of the knowledge and safe-guards that you can. Maybe calling it "degree planning" and double-checking if a course/exam will satisfy a particular requirement will work instead.
