A third way is to enroll with one of Excelsior's partnership/alliance programmes. This is similar to the Excelsior source option (12cr residency requirement).
It drops the enrollment and graduation fees and also the per credit fee for EC courses. Since a BA/BS with EC effectively involves a six credit residency now, this isn't a bad deal at all. Six credits would cover: the one credit LL Info policy/plagiarism course, the three credit UL capstone course and the two cr UL research and writing in the major course.
This leaves open two, three-credit courses which would probably be best spent on UL courses not available through testing out (or interest courses for GPA, etc).
I enrolled through a partnership programme and enjoyed the opportunity to take a couple of extra courses. Was enrolled while a research and writing waiver was still available. Hope this makes sense!
