Never took an Excelsior course, sorry.

They'll need to look over your transcripts before they can decide what courses you'll have to take.

Need to be a little patient, they will get back to you with all your requirements. Usually when they give you a book list, you can find study guides that go along with the text books.

Drop a line to Excelsior as well, I've been told they have great student support services also.

Let us know how you're doing!

Hi Lynnbee! I don't know the first thing about Excelsior, but I finish up Micro next week. There was a supplementary online guide to my book and it helped me immensely. Sometimes it is easier for me to see things on the screen than read them in a book. Don't ask me why! So I used it to study A LOT. My instructors also have notes and power points online that hit the major points of lecture, so those helped. If you want to check them out to see what the class is about, go to www.itech.pjc.edu and click on Course Websites at the very top of the page, right hand side and then click on MCB1000, Frances Duncan. Take a look through the power points. I have the book companion site saved in favorites and I am not sure what the URL is, but it was in my book. I hope that I have helped you in some way!
