BLS / UL credits - Adrian245 - 06-02-2021
I'm a little confused about UL courses. I notice that the only course that transferred as UL for me was a biochem course that was actually done at the graduate level. So they transferred 105 credits but only one class as UL. Have you any experience changing the way transfer credits are applied? I took many UL politics courses at my uni, but they were applied as general lower level electives. For something to transfer as an UL course, does it need to match an UL course offered by UMPI? Or can it just be counted as a general UL elective? / Does anyone know the metric they use to decide if something is considered upper level?
Also, am i reading it wrong, or do the UL courses for the minor not count toward the UL elective requirement for the BLS?
Thanks for any help!

You have to have UL's in 2 categories with the BLS - in the electives and in the minor. Classes don't count for both.
I transferred in 190+ credits. Some UL's came in as LL's and some LL's came in as UL's. I didn't argue. I took what they wanted me to take. The transfer credit is based on what is a UL at UMPI not the school where you took it. For example, I took Principles of Marketing at a community college and it transferred in as a UL course - Marketing Management. I took a UL project management course at CSU Global and it transferred to UMPI as a LL course because at UMPI it is a LL course.
