OMG I was SOOO Wrong about EC!!!... Or was I?

[FocusRN]

Okay, it is not that serious ,but last night as I was going over finances, and completion of EC, I focused on the GEn Ed requirements, I was looking at their cost worksheet at the time, comparing it to the Assessment Catalong to see how much Cleps are worth to EC. Well I looked and I said to myself "I can take 4 Cleps and not have to transfer anything but my, ENG 101 and Comp Lit over:. Then I went back to my Acceptance/Evaluation letter (I didn't send in any transcripts) and it said :

General Education Degree Component

Written English Requirement

3.00 semester hours in Written English

Humanities Distribution

3.00 semester hours in Humanities subjects

3.00 semester hours to meet the Humanities Core Requirement

To satisfy the Humanities Core Requirement, you must complete a minimum of 3 semester hours in a humanities subject area (other than composition) such as art, music, literature, philosophy, foreign languages, religion, ethics, theatre, or speech.

Social Sciences/History Distribution

2.00 semester hours in Life Span Developmental Psychology

2.00 semester hours in Sociology

2.00 semester hours in Social Science/History subjects

Natural Sciences/Math Distribution

4.00 semester hours in Anatomy & Physiology (All Body Systems)

2.00 semester hours in Microbiology

2.00 semester hours in Sciences Supportive of Nursing

When I saw this, it made some questions pop up.

Hopefully someone here can help out.

Does this mean for example instead of taking the CLEP Social Sci and Hist Gen exam, to satisfy the full requirement, I would have to take life span, soci, ect?

This is what I thought origionally but going over the cost worksheep last night, make me think differently.

I CLEP'D out of several for them, just call them up and ask. They are very good about the whole CLEP thing.

I do not have my copy of the catalog available so I can't look it up for sure. You need to talk to someone at the school about your question and get a clear picture of the role of CLEP tests. My transfer units were courses that I took at other schools so I'm not directly familiar with CLEP, but offhand, I think they are an easier alternative to classroom courses. Until you are able to talk to an advisor, go to the EC website and specifically look up CLEP tests in the catalog. Then if you have any questions about what is in the catalog, have them answered by an advisor. The advisors are very nice and willing to work with students. Good luck.
