Can you verify that these grade F's wont hurt my gpa or graduation requirements into pierpont?

I found this policy #15 and I believe I will be ok? I just need reassurance. https://www.pierpont.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BOG_P15.pdf

I have already transferred all of my credits to Pierpont as I am currently waiting for response from applying and all. 

Thanks!

People always get the internal and external GPA confused, don't look at that internal document, you're not taking anything at Pierpont.  They only use your external GPA for logging/reference purposes as the system requires a GPA of some sort.  You just need one graded credit (technically 12 RA credits too, but they are not enforcing that rule).  And in regards to the portfolio inquiry, skip it... it'll be more work than all 90 credits from Sohpia.org and your alternative credits combined, probably more expensive as well, you can just email your assigned academic advisor and they can probably check your work experience for elective credit if any...

My recommendation is not for the BAS but the BABA with Management and Leadership Concentration because this will help you much more in your career to become a General Manager. The BAS is a technical degree, but you're not in a technical position. It will contain courses which are useful as a restaurant manager whereas a class on database management may not be helpful to you. You'd also probably be able to fly through many of the business courses because of your experience.

Forget the portfolio credits at UMPI. They are FAR more work than a YourPace class. Portfolio credits require 3-5 papers, letters from managers, and other documentation. And you're not guaranteed the credits. You also pay per credit whether or not you receive credit. YourPace is a flat fee tuition so you pay the same if you complete 3 courses per term or 150 courses per term.

With the BABA, you'll be required to take some of the courses which will be waived in the MAOL. The BAS isn't designed that way.

The Google credits give you the technical credits that you need for the UMPI BAS, apply for the BLS and once you are admitted, request a change to the BAS. For UMPI, use Sophia to fill in any missing general education or other classes - for example, you want to do a foreign language and your science plus lab. You need to complete a minimum of 10 classes at UMPI.
