Which courses from Sophia.org can be transferred to UoPeople
#1
Please, If anyone has transferred courses from Sophia to UoPeople that would be a great help as some names of courses are different

From what I've seen here in the forums, UoP can be a bit stingy when it comes to bringing in outside credits for some reason. Hopefully, someone who has actually gone through the process can chime in.

Looks like they allow you to transfer up to 90 credits for a BA, but they charge you $17 per course you transfer. So for 90 credits that's $510. Not the end of the world but a decent chunk for a "free" university.

On the plus side it says evaluation of transfer credits is free so I guess you can see before you pay.

I don't have the most Sophia credits in the world but if you'll give me a couple of days I'll transfer them over and tell you what they come in as

lol, also at the end of each course you take from them you have to pay them $120 for an "assessment" fee before they give you credit for it. So why call it tuition free?

Also they've accepted me without even asking me for my SSN. Never seen that before.

ayman, do you have a degree plan from UotP? If anyone does, please share.

I am taking UotP courses now, but only have sent them my regionally-accredited school transcripts. I will be sending them my ACE transcript in a few weeks, and that has 17 credits of Sophia. When those results are in I will post them here.

While the website says you can transfer in up to 90 credits, I haven't seen anyone one here share that they have actually been able to transfer in 90 credits. They are not generous with transfer credit. They want you to take their courses and take 4 years+ to complete your degree. Yes it's cheap, but you get what you pay for. Your time is valuable.

It's not really all that cheap. They nickel and dime you at every turn.

I sent them my transcripts the day OP started this thread to see what they'd come in as and I haven't heard anything yet. I'll report back when I do.

Where do they nickel and dime you? I see here that they charge $60 application fee, $120 per class and $17 for each transferred in course. Are there other fees too?

Fwiw, I sent in my college transcripts and had 69 credits approved. I will get those placed during degree eval, but i think that will be down the road. I am going to switch from BSBA to BSCS, and to do so i need to be further in the process. See, you have to complete a few classes before being considered "degree-seeking".

So 69 college-earned credits accepted, and I think I can get more in a 2nd try. I have not sent in my ACE transcript yet.

Please post the results of what your ACE credits transfer in as. I'm sure many on this board will find that information very useful!
