UMPI History help
#1
Ok, so a young man that worked for me part time while he was in HS, during which he also finished an associates (AA) went off the university to do a BA History afterwards and had what can only be described as a bad academic year there for a variety of reasons and excuses.

He is back working for me in the warehouse and is a smart young man who has been beating himself up like there is no tomorrow over his bad FT university experience.

I have convinced him after almost a year to stop beating himself up and that there can be another path to degree than going back FT which the idea of throws his anxiety thru the roof.

I am thinking that UMPI for their yourpace history is a good solution and now working on a plan. 

He has the following 

BIO 1107 Principles of Bio l with lab 4 CH
ENGL 1101 English Comp 1  3 CH
Hist 1121 Western Civ l  3 CH
ENGL 1102 English Comp ll 3 CH
HIST 2111 American History l 3 CH
MATH 1111 College Algebra 3 CH
PHSC Physical Science 3 CH
ENGL 2132 American Lit ll 3 CH
HIST 1122 Western Civ ll 3 CH
SOCI 1101 Intro to Sociology 3 CH
ECON 2105 Prin of macroeconomics 3 CH
HIST 2112 American History ll 3 CH
MATH 2101 Intro to Stats 3 CH
PHED 1010 PhysicalFitness for life 3 CH
ANTH 1102 Intro to Anthropology 3 CH
BIOL 1112K Intro to Biology ll with lab 4 CH
COLQ 2993 Social Science Colloquium 3 CH
PSYC 1101 Intro to Psycology 3 CH
POLS 1101 American Government 3 CH

So, he has 63 CH of RA credit

I had him do ACTFL as he speaks/reads/writes Spanish and one result is back for the WPT at Intermediate HIGH which is 6LD=1UD and the Opic he just found out wasn't clear enough with background noise so needs to do again.

I plan to have him apply to UMPI and work with admissions, but from my reading here, once admitted any further ACE stuff like sophia or SDC can't be brought in once started. I was leaning towards having him max out the 90 CH transfer in before starting yourpace at UMPI so he can hopefully bang it out in 2 terms.

He is pretty set on a history degree, I appreciate any advice that helps me guide him on this journey. 

Thanks
