Excelsior Information Literacy substitution?

[tjguitar85]

Why are people wanting to use a substitute for Information Literacy? Excelsior requires you to take 7 of the 120 credits at Excelsior and the Information LIteracy is a 1 credit course. Are people expecting to take more than two other Excelsior courses?

Since Excelsior will take the study.com course to fulfill the info lit requirement, it saves time and money($100 vs $530).  It also makes it possible to only take the 3 hour capstone at Excelsior, everything else can be taken from outside sources.  Starting 11/1, that will all change.

Are you sure it's a November 1 change date? I applied in early October and the partner page has always stated that I can transfer up to 113 credits with 120 credits being required for the degree.


TESU seems to only require the capstone, but now it's unclear who they will accept ACE courses from.

I know 11/1/2019 is the date you must enroll by to avoid taking the cornerstone.  My admissions counselor confirmed that I can transfer 117 hours, including the study.com info literacy replacement.  They don't want you to take classes elsewhere so, they aren't very forthcoming with that information.  Now, come November, that 113 very well could be accurate.

I just had a Exclesior transcript evaluation done a few days ago, and they required a Cornerstone in it.
