My degree has been offically conferred by UMPI as of today. It likely happened yesterday actually but it wasn't conferred when I checked it yesterday morning, not that I've been checking every morning since my term ended on 5/5 lol. Thanks again to everyone on the forum for all the help getting me from zero to college graduate in less than 6 months. I couldn't have done it without every one of you that commented on one of my posts.
One thing I should also mention, my degree shows 145 total credits. I've seen quite a few folks on here say that UMPI will only transfer in 90 credits, this is false or at least taken out of context. They accepted all 115 of creidts that I transferred in. The rule currently, as best I can tell, is that you must complete 30 credits towards your degree at UMPI and any credits you transfer in have to be something that UMPI deems worthy of granting credit.

Congratulations! You can transfer 5000 credits to UMPI. However, only 90 credits will count towards your degree. You must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI and some degrees have additional requirements such as X number of UL credits in the major/minor must be completed at UMPI.

I would recommend prioritizing the completion of your degree requirements first.
However, if you still have some remaining time on your Sophia or Study.com membership after fulfilling those requirements, you can use it to explore different subjects.
You might even consider completing a few courses that are unrelated to your degree, which can be added to your transcript.

@joshua27, Congrats on getting this done! Yeah, as mentioned, you can transfer in X number of credits, but only 90 of that amount will be placed into your degree.

Congratulations! I am also awaiting the conferment of mine. When did you apply for graduation?
