Say, Iwas wondering if I am missing out on some hidden fee I'm unaware of at EC. I keep hearing people talk about how expensive it is. I agree the enrollment, etc fees are pricey but per credit hour my community college is $76. So my 3 credit microbiology exam (which was $ 215 I think) is not all that bad a deal for not having to go to campus or do a lab. I have been a pretty keep to myself student until lately and I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing. Like, I've read postings regarding chancellor's and RUE costing over $10,000. I realize this is with their study materials and stuff, but is there some per credit fee I will have to pay Excelsior that I'm unaware of? I can't imagine $10,000, I will have paid less than half that if I've got this figured right.
You will pay an application fee,enrollment fee,info.literacy fee,CPNE exam fee,graduation fee, Study Guides from pub. companies are high priced. Linda

I'd recommend the skills bag, for starters. Print out the study guide and read the whole thing through, front to back. Start posting on the EPN:
