The EXCEl is coming along

Anyone wanting to attempt a EXCEL here are some hints…
• Went to the EXCEL meeting at residency, get information and ask questions.
• Printed out everything I could read from Thomas Edison’s web site. They have a great section on life experience credits.
• Found other who did an excel and reviewed theirs (asked one person to e mail me their document) this has been great as I do much better by example
• Spreadsheets- begin by putting spreadsheets together of things like Vermont college degree criteria. For anyone who is not sure what that is I’ll explain later.
• Be careful that what you are taking at VCU does not overlap with areas that you might be able to get life credits. Plan you semesters accordingly.
