Production/Operations Management and Business Policy advice for Excelsior

[auminer49r]

Business Strategy?! dratz.. so, I guess that means 7 exams left. ighs:

I am trying to be cheap and figured on registering at ECE once I finished the requirements (to avoid the fees for getting addl credits added to my record once I take addl exams.) I don't know if this was such a good idea now.

I have six/(maybe 7) exams left, is time for me to register?

This Operations Management course at Pueblo looks to be a God-send, I think I will register for it once the prof gets back at the end of July.

Would my registering before September 1st (if possible) exempt me from Business Strategy?

Hi decall,

You're coming down the home stretch!! Good for you!!! Should you register at Excelsior now? I am not quite sure whether you are talking about applying or enrolling. But, if you haven't applied, I think that you should. That way you can begin accumulating all of your transcripts at Excelsior and get some idea of where you stand.
I don't know how agressive you are studying and taking exams, but I would say, in my own personal opinion, now may be about the best time to enroll. Here are a few reasons:

You may find out that your existing credits won't fall in the categories you think they should. (You don't want to take exams you don't need)

You may possibly have a legitimate appeal situation. Or, they may need further information about your courses in order to apply them to your status report.(That will take extra time)

The enrollment process takes 2-8 weeks, give or take.

You may need advisement regarding upcoming exams.

You may need to have your future courses/exams approved ahead of time.
...just to name a few reasons.

Of course, I/we don't know your personal situation; so use your own best judgement. It seems to me that there comes a point where the scales tip from worrying whether you can complete the rest of the program in a year to the point where you know you can and you need Excelsior to take care of things on their end and to guide you the rest of the way.

I think of it like an air-traffic-controller...

You can pilot your plane all by yourself from coast to coast if you have a good bearing, but as you approach your destination, you're going to need to the tower to bring you in for a safe landing.

Oh, about Business Policy capstone course/exam... There's no getting around it. You can take it anywhere that is approved, unless you miss the deadline for enrolling at Excelsior. If you miss the deadline, you will have to take the course through Excelsior exclusively. That's the way I understood it when Kiwi Lover explained it in a recent post in this forum somewhere. Kiwi Lover knows her stuff and she tells it like it is. BUT, your best bet is always to get the latest and greatest information directly from Excelsior.

... just one opinion from a peer. I hope you find it supplimental to all the other information you can gather on this forum.
