retake Wrote:I was always under the impression that the school can't change the degree requirements on you once you declare your major. Is this not true with Excelsior?
They can't, unless you take too long or you let your membership lapse. I don't know how long you can be inactive before they require a new evaluation of credits, but it happened to me. In my prior enrollment they apportioned credits for GREs in different ways, and they allowed transfer of D grades, etc. I also lost credit because they claimed that some courses overlapped, which did not at an earlier time.
In a way I ended up better off. Losing a couple of D's moved my average above 3.0, and I made up the GRE credits with DSST and ECE exams. I now have a 3.2 average and a transcript that shows all regular courses that will be universally accepted.
