Official Transfer Course Equivalencies - Holmes - 03-10-2022
Hello everyone,
Anyone can view the Official Transfer Course Equivalencies database, without a student account. You just need to go to this webpage: https://peportal.maine.edu/
Under the "Quick Links" section, you will find the "Transfer Course Equivalencies" link. Inside that link, you will find the "Transfer courses or test credit to the Univ. of Maine System" button.
After that you would be able to select "University of Maine at Presque Isle", select a letter from the list (e.g., S), and find whatever provider you want to transfer from.
If you scroll down under the "S" letter to find "Sophia Pathways Learning LLC", you will find a "Show All Subjects" button.
This database is open to students and guests as well. No login is required.
It's the same database that used to show that Sophia's Principles of Finance would transfer as BUS-325. It now shows that it will transfer as a BUS-2XX elective. It's also the same database that used to show Study's Presentation Skills would transfer to a BUS-1XX elective (if I remember correctly), and now it shows PCJ-215, which is the right corresponding course.
It's not 100% accurate and it may contain minor errors, but overall, it is reliable and it reflects the latest transfer evaluations.
I hope that helps; I realized from some comments that many students are not aware that anyone can access the database, not just them.

The database shows how courses have transferred in the past. It doesn't show all of the changes made over time. So what it shows today may not apply to someone tomorrow. I always try to stress this and people have complained that I say this. It says right on the screen that it's from the past.
RE: Official Transfer Course Equivalencies - LevelUP - 03-10-2022
I would still go by the official Study.com transfer guide and what people reported works for IC & Sophia.

Study.com transfer guide has a few errors. Study doesn't seem to ever update these pages for some reason.

As a side note, we all should only use these as references as mostly all content online will "expire" or be out of date. It's great to have these as references for planning purposes, but it's up to the student to get in contact with the school representatives in order to verify that these are up to date and transferred as planned, if it is not, the academic advisors will provide you alternative options.

Just to add :
If you scroll down under the "C" letter to find "Credly/ACE ", click the "Show All Subjects" button to see all ACE credit related courses.

What institutions does OOSC and SHMO represent on the Credly/ACE list?

OOSL is Straighterline. I don't see OOSC.
SHMO is old credit from Shmoop, which no longer has credit recommendations.

You are correct it is OOSL, i hit a C instead of L
RE: Official Transfer Course Equivalencies - bjcheung77 - 06-04-2022
You may want to review these and note to yourself some of the providers no longer are in the 'ACE recommended' for credit list, such as SHMOOP quit the business as many institutions decided they were not up to snuff, they were too "Shmoopy" for their own good...
