When is a good time to register?

Who has said UMPI is no harder than Study.com?

You said it and I went by other member's experiences also.

I would take Biology 101L intro to Biology with Lab from Study.com. I would take American Government, Marketing, Managerial Accounting, and Spanish 1 from InstantCert. They're fast, easy courses.

You'll want to transfer in as much as possible to complete the degree in as few terms as possible.

I took America Government at UMPI and it was easy! I had to write a 1500 word essay. I finished the course content and the essay in 3 days.

Eng Comp 1 & 2 is MUCH easier and faster at UMPI. (than Sophia)

Many of their (UMPI) courses require much less work than taking the course elsewhere such as SDC.

So you kinda pulled a Fauci and said things both ways depending on what thread you are looking at.

In some UL Study.com courses, you are writing 3 papers along with taking the course and doing the exam which the same UMPI course may require 1 paper. Every course is different, some are harder or easier than others.  

Some courses you may not be saving time but still, I think it's a good idea to get as close as possible to 90 transfer credits for courses that have been proven to transfer into UMPI.

Having said all of that, in your exact situation given how many credits you already earned and how fast it took you to earn those credits, I would be shooting to start UMPI no later than 08/30/21 even if you are short some transfer credits.
