UMPI

You have to have permission to transfer credits after being enrolled? I started taking Sophia classes and didn’t know that

Just an update I got A’a in both the courses I took at UMPI.

This is how it works at most schools. Once you're an enrolled student, they want you to take their classes. If you take classes outside of the school without permission, they may not accept the transfer credit. Also just because you take a course doesn't mean that there's a place for it on your degree audit. You should definitely speak to your advisor about this. They should have emailed you the degree audit sheet which shows what you have left to complete.

Yeah I know what I need to take because of degree audit and I looked at the transfer equivalence someone posted for Sophia so I matched those up for what I have to take still. So we can’t just send transcripts that sucks.

Reviewing the catalog is helpful with things like this.

I've sent over Sophia transcripts for courses I've completed since I enrolled and they won't evaluate them.

I want to know if I decide to start UMPI I will have access to any computer science course so i will not pay study.com for CS classes.

UMPI does not have a computer science program. There's only one programming course available in the YourPace programming and it's for those in the BLS Management Information Systems degree. It's a course on VB.

They are launching an ON CAMPUS computer science program in January. All of their online degrees are found here not on the main UMPI website:

I would not expect an online program any time soon. The learning platform they use does not offer any IT degrees. Their degrees use the Strut Learning Platform.

UMPI doesn't currently have computer science as an online (YourPace) degree option. Perhaps in the future. If you want a CS degree, you still need one from TESU.

But I see they are offering Management information system where do you get the courses if you said you have un limited access to any course.

MIS is a minor in the BLS degree. There are 6 courses required and they offer every course required for their degrees. You don't have unlimited access to any courses.

Can you post which courses are available in the MIS that you can take as elective because I see the curriculum and they said "Students must take 62 credit hours of general elective courses." so everyone can have an idea.

Are there any fees for YourPace students other than the $1400 per session tuition?

I don't think so. I think it's 1400 and that's it! I'm aiming to attend UMPI myself. I'm praying they are generous with my credit transfer ::fingers crossed::

Can the RA credits be transferred to TESU from UMPI?

You know, I'm not exactly sure. That's a good question.

But, why would you want to do that? Do you have a specific plan in mind?

Unless you want a specific TESU degree, UMPI is going to be cheaper to just take everything through them. But TESU does have transfer equivalencies for UMPI. https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/transfer-credit So this could technically be cheaper than getting RA credit through even TEL Learning but it'd be an awful lot of work to complete 8 courses in 1 term.

I want to at least finished a bachelor degree at UMPI fast and use 24 RA credits and sent it to TESU to comply with the new requirement to finished the BACS.

That's not a bad plan.  Once you finish a UMPI bachelor's degree, all of your TESU GE & Free Electives will be waived (including the cornerstone) so you will only need to complete the AOS & Capstone (39cr total).  If you can complete any of the requirements there at UMPI (no idea what they offer), then you can bring in up to 15cr to the AOS.  Either way, the remaining courses can be completed via alternative means, and then your tuition and fees at TESU would be $5097 - not bad for a BACS degree.

Yes if TESU won't change more policies by time u r done with UMPI
