To check on the Penn Foster courses you can first go to the ACE directory for the ACE approved courses.
ACE | National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training scroll down to Penn Foster click Search. You will get 5 pages of their courses that are ACE approved.
Click on the individual course and it will give the description. You will want to look at Credit Recommendation. They will need to be atleast 2 credits to satisfy the requirements of Excelsior.
There are also TECEP test that can satisfy some of the requirements.
Athabasca has courses that also might satisfy your requirments of being self paced. For example COMP378 - Database Management should satisfy Database Concepts and the course has 3 tests that are open book, 1 project, and one proctored final. They probably have other courses to meet the others also.
The Network+ test from Comptia might satisfy the requirment for Data Communications and Networking. It did for me towards the MIS degree thru Excelsior.
edit: Geezer beat me, I am a slow typer... lol
