YourPace CBE Class List for Fall 2023?

[dropthemastdown]

I started my first semester as a YourPace student this week, and my major is Business Administration, BA - Management & Leadership Concentration. I transferred in an AAS in IT and about 1 years' worth of bachelors' level credits toward a business degree at another school. I have 16 classes remaining before I graduate.

I just noticed on my class schedule that the two summer classes I am taking, SPA 101 and PHI 152, are listed as YourPace CBE classes in my schedule on MaineStreet. When I was accepted back in April, I had enrolled in two other online classes for the Fall 2023 semester, BIO 105 and PSC 101. However, these are listed in MaineStreet as Online classes and not YourPace CBE.

I want to only take online classes that are part of the YourPace program, not the "standard" UMPI online classes. I know we're supposed to send an email to request more classes as we finish courses, but it would be helpful for me to be able to plan ahead as to the order of classes I'm taking for each semester. Is there a list anywhere of the YourPace CBE classes for the fall semester, or should I email Jessica for that? Also, are all of the classes required for the various YourPace degree programs offered in the YourPace format, or will we all have to take some of the "standard" online classes?

Thanks in advance.

All classes you can take as part of YourPace are YourPace classes. There are no traditional classes with traditional deadlines available through the YourPace program.

Highly recommend avoiding SPA 101 by requesting to take Spanish I at Sophia, though.

Also it is highly recommended not to take BIO105 w/ lab either.  Both of those can be done through Sophia.

With the move to Brightspace probably happening in the fall, the catalog/availability may be different. It's going to be a transition and a lot of advanced planning may not be possible.

You can tentatively sketch out which courses you wish to take that meet your requirements but since you don't know how quickly you will actually move through them, you can't know when you will take what.

I made a list of courses I needed to take for my degree and decided to knock those out first, which I did. Then I looked at all the YourPace classes I could see listed on all the different YourPace degrees available that would fit the rest of my needs (UL electives). Anything available in the YourPace website for any degree would fit. I need 6, but I picked 10 that were of interest to me. Then I researched here who teaches that class, read the reviews and learned as much as I could. Since they are electives I can choose the ones that are most interesting to me that don't have especially challenging or problematic material or instructors.

It sounds like you registered for traditional classes (online) in the Fall. YourPace students don't do anything in Mainestreet to get entered into classes. We email Jessica and she/they enroll us in the classes we have asked for/need. If you went into Mainestreet and did the wishlist or registered there, that is why yours say online. YourPace is a manual registration process through Jessica. The ones you have this week are correct.

Edit: And yes, all the required classes in all YourPace degree programs are available in YourPace. No traditional online classes are needed to be taken to finish a YourPace degree. I do highly recommend getting your foreign language and lab science elsewhere.

For cross reference, as recommended by board members, we've created a sticky thread for YourPace CBE Class List 2023 (Summer). I don't know if these courses will be offered in the Fall, but it should give you an idea at least. You can use it for reference and pre-select ones that interest you and go towards the degree of your choice.
