Can Seniors Get Excelsior For Part-time Last Year?

[frigid oxide]

youre supposed to get excelsior based off their website

but no one ik got it including myself

i think esp since youre not even gonna be full time most likely not cus they waived the 30 credit req

but no mentions of waiving the 12 cr per sem

[wicked girder]

Damn so should I just suck it up and take 5 classes to keep it

Or not since I’ll be taking less classes

[frigid oxide]

i wouldnt

wasting my time and effort

to take extra classes

[wicked girder]

Right

I also have other scholarships but those are merit based

[frigid oxide]

peter vall?

so make sure your other scholarships you can still get bc all my scholarships were cut off last sem

cus they all req me to be full time

[wicked girder]

Yeah and the muse scholarships

[frigid oxide]

you wont get peter vallo

[wicked girder]

Aight

[frigid oxide]

idk bout your muse

[wicked girder]

I’ll ask about that

Damn I have to be full time for that as well

Lemme talk to my advisor to

[frigid oxide]

not mcuh your advisor can do if thats a req

[wicked girder]

lol

Damn

[frigid oxide]

i mean what were you expecting if it's a written req

but you know what tho

they gave me some tap last month for last years sem

[wicked girder]

I was chill with it but ofc senior year is different

I imagine if I just fill it up with 1 credit classes it won’t be a problem

Right?

If those even exist

[frigid oxide]

if youre taking 3 courses next sem

assuming 9 cr

there isnt that many 1 cr classes ..

multiple 1 cr class vs one 3 cr

[wicked girder]

Oh wait a sec 12 credits is full time?

[frigid oxide]

💀

where have you been these 3 years

[wicked girder]

What am i tripping out for then lmao all i need to do is just add a third class in the spring

[wicked girder]

All over the place

I just won’t get excelsior tho, I’m going to have to figure out how much everything is gonna be without that

[frigid oxide]

?

how many credits are your spring courses

both 4?

[frigid oxide]

$305 per cr

• fees

[wicked girder]

They’re all 3

It’s all English courses that are required for my major

[frigid oxide]

so then you need 2 more classes for spring

and one more for fall

to hit 12 for both sem

[wicked girder]

Oh true you’re right

[frigid oxide]

and in that case you gotta weigh is it worth taking 3 extra classes

cus i rather work

[wicked girder]

For the last sem? Prolly not

For fall? Sure

[frigid oxide]

i mean 3 in total

[frigid oxide]

it wouldnt make sense for you to fit 3 in fall if youre tryna fulfill 12 cr full time

[wicked girder]

Nah I’m already gonna be taking 3 in the fall. One more won’t hurt to be counted as full time

[frigid oxide]

idk how muse scholarship work

but if you full time in fall youll get excelsior/peter etc

[wicked girder]

We have to be considered full time to get it*

[frigid oxide]

so youll just be out for last sem

[wicked girder]

Yeah

[frigid oxide]

like entire year

or just one sem

[wicked girder]

No idea

But I’ll figure that out really soon

Fall and spring

So that’s what 4 classes each sem… ill manage

You said they waived the rule about 30 credits each year right

You know any 3 credit classes that are at decent times that are easy

[frigid oxide]

decent times i wouldnt know

just find electives

[frigid oxide]

i just went on hesc and i dont see this anymore

[wicked girder]

We are so back 🫡

[frigid oxide]

it used to be here

[wicked girder]

Sorry I was excited lol

12 credits per term but 30 credits each year? Where are the extra 3 going to come from lol

[frigid oxide]

you see the words

at least?

[wicked girder]

Yeah

[frigid oxide]

bc a normal 4 year graduate would need 15 cr a sem

but thats only if you do fall/spring

some ppl do winter/summer which is counted into 30

[wicked girder]

Mhm

[frigid oxide]

thats why it's at least

[wicked girder]

So do I just ask them to make an exception

[frigid oxide]

what makes you think

you have that power

💀

they removed it for a reason

[wicked girder]

Idk what else to do lol, especially considering I don’t want to exert myself for no reason

[frigid oxide]

lets not be delulu and think they will make exception

but 30 a year when you only need 5 classes is ooooof

[wicked girder]

Well I could just take 4 classes each sem, keep my scholarships that aren’t excelsior and roll that

[frigid oxide]

mhm

[wicked girder]

Yeah most classes are 3 credits so its 30 a year

[wicked girder]

But yeah I think this is the best option
