FAQ

What are the requirements for admission to Excelsior College?

Admissions requirements and procedures vary depending on the program. Go to the Getting Started section of our Admissions page, tell us what you’re interested in, and we will display the program specific admission requirements.

Can I transfer in credits from other schools towards my credit requirements?

Yes. Excelsior College reviews credit from degree-granting institutions to determine if those credits will transfer. See the Student Policy Handbook (PDF) for details.

What is an official transcript?

Official transcripts are those that a college, testing agency, or education office sends or gives to you in their sealed envelope, which you then forward unopened to Excelsior College. Transcripts must include the institution’s official seal and registrar’s signature (signature is usually a stamp), two forms of student identification on the transcript, and have an issuance date of six months or less.
