?'s about Excelsior- also a math credit required starting 10/01/11

[scherie88]

I absolutly despise math..Excelsior has recieved 1 of my 2 transcripts and I want to enroll before the math requirment is enforced..

Once transcripts are recieved, how long does it take for excelsior to review and let you know what you need take for gen ed requirments? Im hoping I can find out before Oct. 1..or can I enroll before finding out?

I bought what I need for microbiology but do I need to take it if I have more than 8 science credits?

This is what I have

A&P 1, A&P2..(8 credits) Devolopment Phych. (3credit)

General Biology (3 credits) Business class (3credit)

nutrition class (1 credit) Sociology (3credit)

English Comp (3credit) Communication skills-English2 (3credit)

Into. to Phych. (3credit) Growth and Devolopment (1credit)

Ive been an LPN less than 5 years...

I also attended a college when I was in my early 20's..did well at first but ended up dropping out the last semester without letting them know..so I recieved F's..Im not proud of the fact..in fact, Im embarrased about it. But, I do have some classes that may transfer for the free electives such as economics 1&2, ..some english and basic math classes..I didnt have the transcripts from the first college I attended sent to excelsior because Im embarassed about whole thing..Would the transcripts from the first college affect me in a negative way at all? I would appreciate any input.

No matter how many science credits you have you must take anatomy and physiology and microbiology. If you want to register you can call them and ask about it. It can take a while for the eval but they might let you enroll before it's done. Math can be satisfied quiet easily through aleks or straighterline from the comfort of your home. I would save yourself some money and not register until you have done the two nursing exams and all your general eds; just because life happens and it can take you longer than you think to get through things. And the Fs won't go on the transcript for Excelsior, just the classes they used to satisfy your requirements.

It took about 4 weeks to get my initial evaluation from excelsior.Once you enroll officially they will do the official evaluation which for me took 2 weeks.Microbiology is a must for any nursing program so you will need it. I enrolled under the AAS since under this program they accept more free elective classes. The courses that are C-and lower don't transfer at most schools so I wouldn't worry about it.

I called excelsior and what will be required is a 2 credit math class..I have some basic math so hopefully that will apply..Algerbra will not be required :)
