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!
