Pierpont BOG AAS Update (Re: Transcripts)

[DeanLewis]

Do we need to submit vaccine report?

All students born after January 1, 1957 are requested to submit immunization records with proof of the Measles, Mumps, & Rubella (MMR) vaccination prior to the start of classes.

The following immunizations are strongly recommended for all students enrolling at Pierpont, MMR (mumps, measles, rubella), Meningococcal vaccine, Polio series, Tetanus-Diphtheria- Pertussis (Td and aP or Tdap within the past five years), Hepatitis A Vaccine, Hepatitis B Series, and the Varicella Vaccine (or history of chicken pox).

I didn't have to, as a "student" (despite taking no classes) at a distance, it wasn't required.

Thank you, I will give it a try.

"After applying, I sent them a copy of my ASU transcript with the shiny new credits and my Sophia transcript through Parchment. We'll see if they accept Sophia this way or if they need an ACE transcript instead. The ASU transcript was picked up by Pierpont within about 30 minutes; that was pretty fast. The Sophia one is still waiting on Sophia to approve it."

When my son went through this process, my son's transcripts were received very promptly but WEEKS went by without any word on his credit evaluation.  He had to really email everyone he had the email address for, for someone to get the process going so that he could register for a second 8 week class in October and he applied in July.  He took the 1 hr Career Exploration class and it was excellent

Hi hsfamfun,  I see in your signature your son's age is 20.  Was he more than 2 years removed from High School completion when he applied? I am curious how hard and fast that rule is for enrollment.  Thanks!

Hmm.  Answering myself maybe:

This is on the application page:

Transfer Students (if previously attended college)

Application for Admission*
College Transcript (from accredited institution(s)*

So perhaps a recent High school graduate who has accumulated enough credits may be able to apply.  I am thinking ahead for my son and daughter.  If anyone has guided a younger-ish learner to and through the Pierpoint process, I would appreciate any input.

Thanks!

The program at Pierpont can accept US citizens or those with "green card" status.

Note: This degree program is available only to students who do not already hold an Associate or Bachelor's degree--even if from another country.

I decided to simply email Nancy Parks with my question. Her incredibly prompt response was as follows:

"Because the degree is intended to be an adult degree completion program, it refers to two calendar years after high school graduation, or in the case of a home school student or one who left prior to graduation, the year of their graduating class."

Wow, that's huge!
How long did the entire process take?

So wait, you no longer have to take that 1 credit course that a lot of people here were taking for a transcript? Every credit just transfers? Might have my sister do this.
