You are not locked in to your major. You can switch majors at any time within reason. Use the staff advisers to help you make correct choices or assist when you have issues such as financing, textbooks, or course problems. Excelsior has a dedicated staff for veterans and active duty members.

As an online student, most courses require discussion posts (usually two per week) of 250+ words. Original discussion posts are generally due by Thursday with discussion responses due by Sunday.
