What happens if the student does not complete 12 academic credits at Excelsior?
Students can still enroll at Excelsior. However, the financial benefits of reduced tuition and fees are only available for those who will take 12 or more credits through Excelsior. Students who take fewer Excelsior credits will need to pay the difference in additional tuition and fees. This will be determined by a sliding scale based upon the number of credits actually completed at Excelsior College. For example, a student who completed nine academic credits at Excelsior College would owe less money than if s/he completed only six academic credits at Excelsior College. HCC advisors who work with students participating in the program can provide more details.
