applying for EC

ok all you experienced EC-ers out there, here is a question for you.

When I apply for Excelsior, am I paying any fees? Like an application fee? From my understanding, upon application they will review all my information, prior school work, etc, and tell me, tentatively, where I stand with credits. Correct so far?

Do I have to enroll right after acceptance? Or can I simply apply to see where I stand, so when the time comes, I know what I need to do? As I understand, there are enrollment fees, and yearly fees, etc. I obviously don't want to pay up until I am actually doing the work.

Did you all apply, then go ahead and enroll soon thereafter? I still have 8 months of school left, but I would like to get an idea of how many of my college credits will apply *english, psych, chemistry, socl, and so on*

gracias in advance!

Application cost $75. You can take pre-reqs and the first two nursing exams (and you can waive the second one if you're an LPN) without paying the $895 enrollment fee. Put off that enrollment fee as long as you can -- once you pay it, it starts the clock ticking toward your annual student services fee ($440), which is payable on the anniversary of your enrollment each year.

I didn't know I could take exams without enrolling, and I enrolled before I even took one exam! Whoops. Well, actually, I did the Information Literacy exam before enrolling, but that was just a test run to see if I had enough time management skills to do stuff via distance learning. :)

You can take the first couple of tests without enrolling, which costs $895, I think.

I talked to an admissions counselor the other day, and he told me you have 6 months to enroll once you application is accepted. i guess after that you have to reapply. My plan is to do the few gen ed tests i need and the first nursing test before my 6 months is up. hopefully, i'll still have time to study for some of the other nursing tests, too, before enrolling. i know i cant actually take the tests for the rest of the nursing until i enroll, but they dont say anything against just studying and being ready for the tests....i'd really love to avoid that annual reenrollment fee.
