Querry on Diploma on YourPace Online Degree Program @UMPI

[wenwenyo]

Hey everyone here!

i am a newbie here in this forum, and i am considering to join YourPace Online Bachelor Degree Program starting on 29, Aug, 2022.
May i know if there is any word like "online" or "part-time" on either Graduation Diploma or Academic Transcript that differentiate it from on-campus program? cuz i am also thinking about getting my MBA program after this one


Thank you guys for helping!

AFAIK, UMPI doesn't distinguish online vs. in-person students on either the diploma or the transcript.

How many credits do you already have? Do you need help filling out any GEC requirements before you start?

There will be no mention of "online" on your degree. The fact that UMPI entirely online does not alter its position as a degree-granting institution. Honestly, the best online college for undergraduates

@wenwenyo, No, they don't have wording mentioning the degree was online or not. Which degree are you looking at from UMPI? Are you transferring credits from community college sources or from ACE alternative credit? I suggest deciding on the degree and transfer credits, have an action plan, transfer everything into the degree and then start at UMPI.

Nothing on the diploma or transcripts refer to anything being completed online or part time. Your transcripts will show how many courses you completed in a semester not session.

Here is what your degree will look like

Hey Rachel! thank you for your quick response!!
i have got email admission yesterday for Summer session starting from July 5!

Well i am an international student, and have around 36 credits all are from Sophia.org (not transferred yet), Do you know when is the best time for me to transfer my credits? and i am also thinking i should contact UMPI using my work experience to reduce some credits.

Have a nice one!!

nope i have not transferred any credits yet, i got around 36 credits from Sophia.org, would them still work if i transfer to then after the session begins?

What schools popular in this forum have 'Online' on the diploma? I have seen the question a decent amount, so curious. My father graduated from TESU with a BABA and two Masters at WGU MSML & MBA; I had to double-check, and none of his diplomas have 'Online' on them.

For UMPI, you shouldn't start until you have as close to 90 credits as possible. The fewer credits you transfer in, the longer it will take and the more it will cost you.

The work experience thing doesn't count for residency. Unless it's JUST a resume, it'll be faster & easier to complete Sophia or UMPI courses.

As Rachel83AZ mentioned in the post above, we usually recommend having around 90 credits or so before you enroll at UMPI, I highly suggest you "defer enrollment" like I told another poster sara143.  You should complete more Sophia.org courses (and your language/science lab courses) before you enroll at UMPI a session later!
