COSC and FEMA

[alissaroot]

I have no idea for sure. I just seem to remember that is the most I had read about...and I did mention it in an email back when I first enrolled at Excelsior, let me see if I still have it...

Alissa:

I have also completed fifteen FEMA online independent study courses and the only reasonably affordable option is to get them transcribed through Clackamus Community College?(Then I babble on about TESC acceptance policy...)

Jodi Berstein-Liberal Arts Adviser-

As for FEMA, that is our is our long standing policy as to how we accept those credits in transfer as it is not an ACE approved program.

Well, that doesn't really answer the question of whether or not they accept more or less than fifteen. I will send another email, unless I can find ..hmm...nope I can't find the post, that is just the max I remember seeing them take, it could be more or less.

Ah here it is!

Excelsior will only accept up to 15 credits and they have to be transcripted by the colleges mentioned above.

And this thread says they will take a max of thirty for LS:http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...+excelsior

So, all in all, it's still a bit confusing! But these threads are why I thought 15 was the max, I would be very pleased to be wrong, but I don't think I've read anyone doing more than fifteen at Excelsior....? Okay, that's it I am sending another email. I will report back, but it I probably won't get a reply until after the holidays. Now I am all curious, I will find out for sure!
