Degree planning advice

Small Update. My Transfer Credit Report just came in. Need to verify it myself. 
I meanwhile already passed the Google Data Analyst Certificate on coursera and have already started with the IT support from Google on coursera too. I plan to take BUS330 or IBM data analyst (BUS440) prior starting on 28th August and add the Management Information Systems minor to the BABA M&L.

Wow, you're just speeding along now. Go you!

Hello from a UMPI student   
Transferred in a total of 126 credits BUT I always thought that my ACTFL language reading exam would transfer in as GEC 5C which it does not. What do I need to do now to get GEC 5C fullfilled? I have been told that on my credly report there's the ACTFL exam listed but has no recommendation and therefore is not valid.

I think there is a separate ACTFL certificate thing that you need to show alongside the ACE badge to prove what level you obtained. Then you can get credit.

Yep, there's a "celeberate" button at the badge. Looks like I somehow didn't use that. I celebrated and now the recommendation is showing. Thank you

Good to know, I didn't notice there were button for badges as none of mine have any buttons at all... or needed me to press a celebrate option to get the ACE credit recommendation, it was automatic for everything.

Quick status update:
Term 1 went well. I finished 8 courses successfully.
Now, in Term 2, I submitted already two finals and have another two courses left to finish studies.

I meanwhile added another minor to my degree, did two more Google certificates on coursera.

So to sum it up, I will finish the BABA M&L with MIS minor and PM minor.

Awesome! Way to go!

@Oktoberfest... Hmm, with the overlapping classes, does UMPI allow a BABA with two concentrations? I know about the dual major, and multiple minor options, but never heard anyone have a dual concentration... If it's possible, I think that's better, especially if there aren't any extra classes you need, if not possible, then having the two minors added is perfect.

Well. I googled and found this:

Oh yeah, I read through their blogs and came across that before... hmm, wonder why I didn't remember, most likely, no one did that double concentration on the boards yet...
