application process

[crazywoman]

Hello

I was wondering how long it takes to hear from excelsior after you send them your application? I sent mine approximately 2 weeks ago. Do I have to wait to hear from them before I send my enrollment form and money?

Also do they usually communicate via email or do they send you something in the mail? :wink2::wink2::wink2:

Thanks, Tonya

you can check on the website. it took them approximately 3 weeks to evaluate my transcripts. make sure you check to make sure all the colleges have sent them your transcripts. ec will send a email to your regular email and you can check the status report and evaluation summary icons on your myec page.

I think it takes 3-4 weeks now, back when I started last February it took 2 weeks. Be patient, things will start moving before you know it. Did you take the first exam yet, that one you can take without being enrolled? Do you have any general eds to take? You can also take those now. Use the search engine here to get answers to a bunch of questions you may have. Trust me some have already been asked a dozen times. Good luck.

Hey guys

Thanks for the info - I have already took NC1 but I do have 2 more prereq. to take so I guess I will go head and work on them. It is English and American Literature and I know how boring they are going to be.

Thanks, Tonya:bow::bow:

You can also start studying for the next exam. By the time you enroll you can test right away.

EC accepts CLEP & DSST - look into them for your pre-reqs. You might save time and money.

I just enrolled in March. Once they received all of my paperwork for the application process---and a phone call and an email through MyEC---it only took 1 week. I sent in my enrollment info with the application....so once my application was accepted, it took 3 days to get me enrolled. The key...if you want it to be done quickly is to call or email. The squeaky wheel gets the grease...The only reason I was so pushy was that I wanted to get my ATT for Chronicity. I am currently ready to test and had to wait almost 4 weeks for a Saturday test date and wanted to get done ASAP. But like everyone else said it can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks if you just send it in and wait on them. Good luck!

Hello

So I cannot send my enrollment application until I hear back from excelsior to make sure that I am accepted. Is this correct?

Thanks

I sent both at the same time---both via snail mail. I never thought of them not accepting me. I doubt that it could hurt to send them in. The Bursars office holds your enrollment information until you are accepted and then it is processed. All I had to do was call the Bursars office and have them process it---which like I said took 3 days---and it was all done.
