Are you referring to using the College Network to complete the Excelsior program? You are aware that the college network is not affiliated with Excelsior College, right? The College Network is a publishing company that offers loans to purchase their custom study 'modules". They are not a school.

This is from Excelsior regarding use of test prep services, and TCN: About Test Preparation Services - excelsior.edu

Also, there are additional requirements from AZBoN in order to become licensed as an RN in AZ: (source: State Board Requirements - excelsior.edu )

"Pre-Admission State Board Letter is needed.
