Info Lit thru PennFoster?

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

Has anyone taken Info Lit thru Penn Foster in the past month? The excelsior advisor told me that they would accept it as long as Penn Foster was ACE accredited and that I would need to check with Penn Foster about the accreditation prior to registering for the class. I talked to a guy at PennFoster and he told me that they were indeed ACE accredited, but then I read some posts on the Facebook CPNE page saying that someone was denied credit for the class by Excelsior only 2 weeks ago. I tried to post there, but I have to be approved to join the group first. I would hate to spend the money and register for the class if Excelsior is going to deny it, but I also REALLY dont want to pay $390 to take it thru Excelsior. Also I kind of feel like the person I spoke to at PennFoster may have been working on commission and may not have known if they were ACE accredited or not, I told him that I did not have a Windows computer (apparently the class is not compatible with Mac) and he said I should just go to the library, then when I said I would call back next week, he was very pushy asking why didnt I just go ahead and sign up tonight, then got my contact info and set up a day to call me back to sign up next week.

As of Jan 2013 Penn Foster is no longer acceptable. The only option right now is the EC class
