My Email to Excelsior -
Iâm planning on submitting my application for Excelsior on January 8th, 2010, and am gathering my transcripts for the process. Will I be required to submit a Time Limit Appeal form for my technology certification and credits to have them accepted towards my degree? My certifications were achieved in 1998-1999, and my technology credits were achieved from a Regionally Accredited school (Strayer University) in 1992-1993.
Excelsior's response to this -
Dear Todd,
If you are pursuing a Liberal Arts degree, you will not need to complete a time limit appeal letter. Simply apply and mail your official and sealed transcripts to:
Excelsior College
Attn: Records Office
7 Columbia Circle
Albany, NY 12203-5159
Thanks!
Ah well... Back to studying the Psych stuff.... April will be here faster than I can comprehend....
This is just a guess but you might have gotten that answer because they are technology certs and you are pursuing a liberal arts degree, and apparently studying psych. If you were pursuing a BS in the Bus & Tech school, with a major that is the same subject matter as your certs, you might have gotten a different answer. Again just a guess, but since those certs are only going into your 30 credit general/free elective category anyway maybe they just don't care?
