FEMA Credit and Excelsior

[dhlvrsn]

I think that if you form your responce inteligently it helps. I'm in the BS-BGB program so I need math credit. I'd taken a Linear Math course already but when my transcript was evaluated it just counted as science, not fulfilling the requirement. I did a search for classes that would fulfill the requirement and found one with almost an identical course description. I e-mailed both that and the description from my previous school and explained that I did not want to take a course and then find out that it was considered dual credit... I got an e-mail back within an hour saying that my math requirement had in fact been fulfilled.

Create a case for why the credit should be accepted. Maybe there are similar courses at other institutions that cover the same material. I've personally stayed away from the FEMA stuff since I am at Excelsior and there a lot more cost effective ways to get credit. Due to four credit courses, Information literacy etc. I may take two courses if I've run out of CLEP tests to take but $70(with test center fee) for three credits is tough to beat.
