Since you're taking Sophia.org classes, take the BIO and Lab from them in addition to the US Gov and anything else that doesn't have touchstones and don't duplicate your current credits. Here's the WIKI, you can try getting more done within your subscription, I would skip StraighterLine sciences as you need a physical lab sent to you in addition to the $69/class, month membership, and also wait time for shipping/handling of the kit.

Ok, I’ll retake BIO through Sophia in addition to the lab from Sophia. And make sure not to duplicate anything else.

Could you please specify where that requirement came from?
General Residency Requirements
http://catalog.umpi.edu/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=241 (2023-2024):
Quote:Residency Requirements
All four-year degree candidates must complete at least 30 credit hours of study through UMPI in order to receive a baccalaureate degree. At least 12 of these credits must be in the major and at least 9 of these 12 must be at the upper level (300-level or above).
For BLS I also do not see that requirement:

Am I missing something?

From what I understand, the Catalog mostly doesn't apply to Yourpace students except for the GEC.
It is confusing to be honest. My friend who did the BLS MIS was required to do most of his 24 UL credit hours at UMPI. I was told by Jessica about the 12LL/18UL requirement when I was doing the BABA PM/MIS last year. These requirements may only apply to the BABA and it seems to fluctuate so it is very possible my information is outdated/incorrect. However, if there wasn't a similar requirement for the BLS, I'm sure someone on this forum would have figured out a degree plan where you transfer in enough UL credits to only do 10 LL courses at UMPI to graduate.

I'd live to bring this thread back from the dead. I am now ready to start taking courses, but I am curious if this info is outdated now.

Yes (more or less for the providers, the process remains the same - get the max 90+ credits for transfer) If you're going for UMPI BLS, then you can do the max transfer using Study.com classes here:
