Just getting restarted, and could use some direction - Cpoldman - 09-16-2025
Hello, there, I'm brand new on here, but I've been reading through these threads for a month or so, and decided to join in on the fun. I'm an almost 44 year old guy, retired military, who has a kid in college, and decided I need to really live the example I ask of my kids. I tried college out of high school, and was great at the partying, not so much the class part. I went back about 2 years ago to TESU, and got 12 credits out of it, but the pace was slow, and family commitments at the time didn't allow for more school. I was also unaware of how to use ACE credits to my benefit. To cut to the chase, I've been very interested in UMPI, and could use some guidance on the ACE credits necessary to forge ahead and get it done. I'm currently on my phone and it's typing weird, so I'll have to log back in and post more in the morning from my laptop. I've got approx 18 credits from my JST, and English comp I & II, American Government, and the TESU cornerstone class completed. Thanks in advance for any tips, pointers, or other guidance.
