Excelsior College

Earn credit at UMGC for your UExcel and Excelsior College exam results.

Excelsior College previously offered UExcel exams and Excelsior College Examinations as a way for students to earn credit toward college degree programs. While Excelsior College no longer offers these exams (which covered topics in business, education, liberal arts, science, history, mathematics, and technology), students who have already taken them can still use the credits toward college degree programs.

Requesting Your Scores

You will need the University of Maryland Global Campus code number for Excelsior College exams, which is 02626. For more information, please call 888-647-2388 or email testadmin@excelsior.edu.

Visit excelsior.edu to learn how to obtain your scores.

When the scores have been received, an evaluator will determine whether they meet the standards established at UMGC for granting credit and how much credit may be awarded.
