I'm currently Matriculated in UMPI, I sent the registrar my college credits, Sophia credits, and study.com credits.
My plan initially was to go with WGU. So although I sent most of my credits to the registrar, I still intend on doing the biology courses on Sophia with the Lab and 1-2 other courses, will this still be possible even if I'm matriculated? I plan on starting in May.

Jessica let me submit as many transfer courses as I wanted this session. This may change next session though, so you have to explicitly ask her. Things change there often.

You need to contact your academic advisor. Sounds like you're currently enrolled at UMPI so you need to work with your academic advisor to transfer in additional courses. It hasn't been a problem in the past. Just send an email requesting permission to complete the courses and then transfer them in.

I haven't been assigned an academic advisor yet, and I haven't received my transcript evaluation for the credits I've sent. It's only been a few days since applying though. I still have an active subscription with Sophia and I plan on completing it in the next 14 days (Does anyone know how long it takes to complete biology lab with Sophia?).. I guess I'll keep working on credits and wait to hear from my academic advisor.

I will do that, do you have her email, is it possible to private message if it's not public knowledge?
btw I thought it was like WGU were you can apply for the program, get admitted and then work on credits before the start date..

Oh then give it some time. It will take a few weeks for your application to be approved and your transcripts evaluated.

I'm starting Spring II term in March and according to Jessica, you can transfer credits into UMPI up until just before you graduate. One other thing that I've seen passed around on this forum is that you can only transfer in 90 credits to UMPI, not true. I've transferred in 115 credits. You still have to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI however.

Yes, 90 credits that you can use - because you must complete 30 at UMPI.
So I could transfer in 300 credits, if I wanted, but that is not going to do me any good.

Only 90 credits count towards your degree. My transcripts have 190+ transfer credits, but only 90 counted towards my degree. You're still required to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI.

Correct, you're still required to complete 30 credits at UMPI which I already stated. You can also use additional credits for minors, dual concentrations, etc. Nothing states that your bachelor's degree has to be 120 credits exactly.

I graduated with 3 minors and was still only allowed 90 transfer credits to be counted towards my degree.
