Excelsior doesn't accept any transfer credit
⢠from noncollegiate training providers evaluated by ACE CREDIT or National CCRS
⢠toward core degree requirements
⢠for degrees from the School of Nursing alone
They also limit transfer of credit from ACE CREDIT or National CCRS providers to 7 sh of general education credit, for degrees from the School of Nursing alone.
These policies apply only to degrees in nursing from the School of Nursing, not to any other Excelsior College degree.

That makes sense... And I was kind of thinking that myself (seeing other posts specifying the same restrictions concerning the nursing degree). Wish it wasn't so darn ambiguous though. I guess if they make it confusing enough it forces one to fork out the application fee in order to figure out what's going on (maybe that was their original intent). I do appreciate the clarification! It helps me put more confidence in the answer that I received from EC. Thank you!
