Help with planning BLS degree

That's correct, you can also copy/paste the remaining requirements into your 'original thread' so we know exactly what you need to take or electives, and provide recommendations for any class that can be done easier/faster. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-from-UMPI

Thanks for documenting your process. I was also accepted back in November and still have not received an evaluation. She reached out to tell me 2 days before Jan. 5th that I had until Jan 5th to accept an award package which of course I didn't do because I'd like to know my standing first to then know how many terms to expect and pay for. 7 days to go and still in the dark. 

Guess I'll just follow your journey and wait until next Spring start date.

You can look at your MaineStreet account and see what transferred in and what courses you have remaining. You can also email your academic advisor asking for info. Don't wait for them to contact you at the last minute.

Thank you, I've religiously checked my MainStreet account and there is no information there. I also have no idea who my academic advisor is or how to contact them. It's been a slightly frustrating process but I understand that they are busy and it was the holiday season. Maybe I'll make some calls next week as it pertains to March's start date.

Oh are you not starting until Spring 2? If so, then yeah you won't hear anything for awhile. They focus on students in the order they are enrolling.

I was never clear, my bad - I was enrolled and applied for Spring 1. They just dropped the ball. She only contacted me about Financial Aid a week before start date, and after I was only told how to log in to email prior to that. The communication is lacking big time and I had been emailing ppl, maybe not the right ones, but now I have no choice but to wait unfortunately.

Basically, It's a waiting game for you then, you can be proactive and productive in seeing if anything else transfers to max the 90 credits... And if you have the energy, time, you can go for extra cheapies/freebies such as the ones on the WIKI while waiting, you can work on the trifecta of certs, degree, experience and mix/match the three to a balanced set of your choice.
