Got my results in! Kind of confusing. The two Conflict Resolution courses came in as English Electives. They counted The Institutes as 3 credits and it came in as Intro. to Philosophy. That replaced an RA class, so that's not ideal with them only taking 30 ACE credits. They took Shmoop, CSM, and my old NFA credit. I was hoping CSM would cover one of my math requirements, but it just came in as a General Elective. Also, Project Management came in as IT Project Management. Kind of odd since it didn't cover IT at all.

I hadn't finished Sophia Ethics or Statistics when I sent my transcript, so I'll post an update with those, but it looks like they should take them. Just not entirely sure where they'll fall. Their system seems only half-intuitive.

All told, 108 credits transferred in, 43 of which were what they consider ACE credits. That's not counting 9 or so CLEP exams and 2 UExcels that had to be snail mailed. I'm hoping they let me curate which of those credits get put on the final transcript. I'm guessing so, since it says "posted" next to all 108 credits and you can only transfer in 90.

I'll continue to update everyone with my progress. I'll post my own thread once I actually enroll in the program and see how many competency credits I need to take with them.

BTW, I seem to only be able to post a quick reply, so I can't add my screenshot. Anyone else having this issue?

Keep in mind that you must complete 30 credits at UMPI and a. specific number in your major as well. I transferred in 186 credits and I'm not done at Sophia yet. It's more like they give you a credit bank and include everything you've taken then figure out what you need still to complete their degree and the 30 minimum credits. I start on the 31st and am working with my academic advisor today on my course selection.

I’m hoping it turns out that way. I haven’t spoken with my advisor yet. She e-mailed saying she was waiting on the degree audit to reach out. What I posted wasn’t the degree audit, just a list of transcripts accepted.

Please keep us updated after your conversation. I’m curious to see how that process pans out.

My degree audit came today. I have a meeting with my academic advisor this evening. I already know all of the courses I have to take at UMPI. I actually asked them to remove a transferred course so I could take their version. I took project management at CSU Global but we did not use Microsoft Project at all. We wrote papers about the theories of PM instead. So switching that course out helps and it's required for my degree at UMPI. We all have to take a minimum of 10 courses (30 credits) at UMPI. Their options for courses are somewhat limited but I just want to be done and move on to grad school where I'll study what I actually want. I need a degree with some background in IT to get into data analytics. I want to do digital marketing data analytics. I must be nuts! LOL
