Hopefully this is a good location for the question, but please let me know if I should move it elsewhere.
I’m looking to finish my degree, which has been on hold for 30 years. I stopped in the middle of my second semester, which resulted in some incomplete classes dragging my already weak GPA down further.
I’m trying to understand how that’ll impact enrolling in a CBE undergrad program at places like ETAMU, UMPI, WGU, and the like.
How strict are inbound GPA requirements, and are some programs more flexible than others for someone looking to restart their education journey?
Do these programs look at the previous GPA overall or just the GPA of classes accepted to be transferred in?
Is there a way to have courses from Sophia, Study.com, Coursera and the like be included in the GPA when applying?
Thanks!
