General guidelines for time limit on transfer credit are noted below. Please consult the appropriate Excelsior College school catalog for more information.

Business courses that are more than 20 years old will not be counted toward the business component of the degree.

Information technology/computer science courses for the IT degrees have a 10-year time limit from the date of enrollment, and they may not be appealed.

Electronics/computer courses for technology degree programs other than IT have a 10-year time limit, which may be appealed. A time limit appeal form (PDF) must be submitted with the Undergraduate Application.

Liberal arts courses generally don't have a time limit on use toward Excelsior College liberal arts degree programs or the general education component of our business, nursing, and technology degree programs.

Nursing courses:
