Advice On Degree Options

[TaraD2020]

Hmm... Did they give you a decision already if they've accepted you for the March session? I think decisions are made already or at the latest after the transcript deadline tomorrow.  Do you have to pay to commit to the program?  I thought you start paying when you enroll,  committing to the program and enrollment are different...

From how it read, they wanted a commitment to get the audit.  I’ll have to lookm back.  I pushed to the next term, because I panicked that I’d have to commit and pay and I wasn’t ready.

It's all good, gives you time to make sure you transfer the remaining credits, and also take the extra time to finalize that decision for the degree or institution of choice. Excelsior, TESU, TAMUC, WGU, etc, are all in the running for you for max transfer, you just need to map out the remaining credits for each degree and decide what route to go. You can take this downtime as well to do some cheapie or freebie certs and credits that can be used as electives for those degrees and get a more rounded mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience...

I went back to my UMPI email, and I was definitely overwhelmed and confused, therefore read it incorrectly. I deferred my start from March to summer, so they placed me in that group for transcript evaluation. I don't know where I saw that I have to commit in order to receive that. Possibly in my UWisconson email, which i deleted because I decided not to pursue. I understand now that while I can commit to summer term and get the eval, that doesnt mean I will have to start OR pay for anything.

With that said, my confusion worked in my favor, because I did SO MANY Sophia courses in the time I panicked and differed.

UMPI is likely the best option for me, but I am just panicking about the workload, timing and cost. Someone mentioned to join the discord, for tips, but I dont even know what that is. Any insight on that?

Again, I am sorry that I posted incorrect information. I am extremely overwhelmed, and truly appreciate the time and effort you put into this board.

Things happen, take in everything as is slowly, and I repeat what I mentioned in post #12, here's the discord info: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...e-Discords

I think I mapped out the BLS: Management Minor (not including my Project Management & Marketing Google Certs)

Looks like I would need to complete the following at UMPI:

Gen Ed - 1B - Engage primary & secondary sources, documentation systems - English Comp 2
Core - BUS 240: Change Management
Core - BUS 260: Leadership
Core - BUS 321: Human Resource Management
Core - BUS 415: Operations Management
UMPI UL Course
UMPI UL Course
UMPI UL Course

UMPI UL Course

The only thing I am unsure of is if they will take my 15 credits of science, in place of doing a lab. Someone mentioned they did this for them. I am currently working on lab and spanish 1 with 6 days remaining in my sophia membership.

And if I use Business Comm in 2 places, I assume I would need to find another "core course" to take, or could I use an elective just for the 3 credits, since it wouldn't "show" as a duplicate if I use for gen ed?

UMPI requires a LAB science - and the foreign language. I think if you focus on getting these two things complete before your membership ends you will get them done. I know you're probably feeling the time crunch, but remember you just need to pass them, not master them.

Someone had just commented in a Facebook group that they took all of her sciences to cover that. But in working on it. Lol
