Please Help UMPI Clerical Error Delayed My Enrollment

[cerich67]

I am hoping an UMPI former student can help me.
I enrolled at UMPI on September 13th for the October 24th start date,  The deadline for enrollment was October 4th.  On October 3rd, I called and someone named Barb confirmed that they had received all of my transcripts and she said that my application would be processed in the next week or so.
I didn't want to keep bothering them so I waited to hear from them and no one called or sent me an email.
I finally sent Jessica an email yesterday, October 19th to find out the status of my enrollment,  Jessica replied today that my application was never processed and now it's too late to begin the October 24th start date.  I will have to defer to the January, 2023 start date.
What?
I could just cry.  I quit my job so I could spend the next few months going to school full-time.  I cannot afford to wait until January, 2023.
I have sent repeated emails to Jessica, but I just get a canned response that says it is too late and there is nothing they can do.  Outside of sending an email directly the the Chancellor, I just don't know what more I could do.
Please let me know if there is anything more I can do.  I had my heart set on UMPI.  I even bought their school logo shirts - I was that excited.

I hadn't even explored other competency based schools because I had my heart set on UMPI.  Thanks for reading.  I am SO distraught right now.

welcome to the club, what they did to my wife as well.

No... I might be barking up the wrong tree, but I'd still try this, call Susan and ask to see if they have your admissions completed, if it's completed, ask to start courses as if you're a freshman but you get to pick which courses to start, so if you have X transferred, you know for yourself what you're missing, ask to start the orientation and a course or two.  

Here's an example template I created for a triple minor to illustrate what I mean if you can proceed further.  Start the courses other than the Sophia.org/Study.com in this spreadsheet for the triple minor.  That's it if you have the opportunity to start anything, you're not asking to take courses that "duplicate" what you already have.  You take remaining courses first and transfer the rest in after starting the 1st course with permission.

Again, with the option to start, take courses you need not repeat your previous credits, as I mentioned in the earlier post, you'll transfer them in while you're taking courses towards the degree.  Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing  Lastly, I think you were speaking with those enrollment counselors. There is no "Barb" in the admissions crew: https://www.umpi.edu/admissions/admissions-crew/

Oh, and you're not micromanaging anyone, you're just "following up" with your application and making sure your evaluations are taken properly at the correct levels.  If you want, you can try WGU and see if you can finish their degree in Business.  They don't take too many general education courses, but it's a free application, just pay for transcripts.  Another option is Excelsior as they also have free applications and they take ACE/NCCRS, just 7 residency credits, and TESU if you want...

they would not let my wife start and pick her courses, she asked.

UMPI is honey badger about the aspiring students they drop the ball on.
