If it's $1400 per session (2 months), are there two terms/sessions per semester, meaning it's $2800 in advance per semester?
How does Parchment compare to Credly?
Thank you!
Yes there are 2 terms per semester and the total for the 2 terms is $2800. You can definitely come into UMPI with 90 credits in the BABA with Management and Leadership concentration.
Parchment costs $5.25 and is an actual electronic transcript. Credly just has badges.

How have you found the pacing for the program, like courses per week, for yourself?
Current: UMPI YourPace competency-based BABA, Management & Leadership Concentration, Project Management and Management of Information Systems Minors. Starting with 15 RA credits previously earned in community college. Took the CSM Learn course. Now going through Sophia courses.
Goal: Walden TEMPO competency-based MBA.
Timeline: Started planning mid 2021. Finish both, Jan 2023. A year and a half total, including planning. Started planning on TESU, but was advised towards UMPI to take advantage of financial aid. I'm now excited to finish completely competency-based.
Fun fact: I sometimes use TV as a productivity tool. One episode per chapter, load of dishes, or basket of laundry!
Thanks to everyone, and happy studying!

I work on classes as my time allows. I don't have a set schedule.

Started exploring TESU, but wanted to take more advantage of financial aid if possible and now I'm looking forward to a potentially cheaper overall YourPace BABA. These are some questions I have starting out...
Can you use financial aid towards the UMPI YourPace programs?
For their YourPace programs do you pay for each session at the start of the session?
Are there any fees for enrolling after applying like for TESUs Med Term TECEP enrollment?
Are their additional steps for transferring credits from Credly if there's no early formal enrollment prior to registering for a YourPace program?
Is their a link to verify sophia/clep and other courses for their degree catalog?
Sorry that's a lot! If there are links I will explore whatever I can!
I am currently a student at Yourpace. I got finacial help via FAFSA. They covered all my tuition and sent me a check with the leftover money ($400). I also received $1500 Today from the HEERFIII fund. So yes, financial help is available for Your pace programs.
What is the HEERFIII fund?

Is there a minimum credit completion requirement per session to stay enrolled in UMPI's YourPace? Can you take one session off and easily continue again? I'm thinking about going through Sophia and UMPI together at a pace of three-four courses at once, but I thought that there could be lulls in the UMPI progress along the way.

I think you need to complete at least 2 courses per session. But, if you're planning to transfer Sophia courses to UMPI after enrollment, you'd need to get permission for that.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

This is all depending on if you're using financial aid. Financial aid determines how many credits you need to complete in a semester. Full time students have to complete a minimum of 12 credits per semester.
You should complete your Sophia courses before you apply to UMPI. Once you've been accepted to UMPI you will need permission from your advisor to transfer in additional courses. They have accepted them in the past, but this could change. You will also want to spend your time focusing on classes from 1 place as UMPI courses are more work than Sophia courses typically. There are no lulls at UMPI unless you don't ask for additional classes.
