Therefore, the OP English II credit won't be accepted; however, such can be attained by using a TECEP. The Econ course should be approved as credit given that it's not a core requirement for a liberal arts degree, and that the OP GPA is above a 2.0 when the "D" grade is applied.Thanks for the detailed reply!
Excelsior offers two evaluations the "preliminary" and the "official" evaluation. The preliminary just allows you to get a picture of where you credits will be applied; however, in the process they do evaluate all your credits. The "official" evaluation is done by the "department/school" that you're enrolled in. The official evaluation is the only evaluation that counts. Personally, my preliminary evaluation was a mess, but my official evaluation was awesome, as my official evaluation accepted all the credits that my preliminary evaluation denied. So at Excelsior your evaluation is done by two departments.
However, as you stated I think a business degree at TESC maybe more logical for the OP due to the more options of testing out, and smaller amount of required UL credits.
I tried to find this info to no avail. Does EC accept TECEPs for credit?
