New ASU UL Project Management Poker

[KSoul]

Coursera has several courses partnered with universities that transfer in, and several schools accept Course courses for credits, so I am not sure of your point here with the caps ' not ace approved.'

Overall I feel as if you keep promoting the negative of what might not happen, and I keep promoting the positive that it can happen. Both are accurate. Perhaps I am more optimistic than you due to personal examples and countless family members transferring in credits the masses claimed would not work. I gather you haven't experienced the same and tend to stay with the letter of the law.

To date UMPI doesn't have a partnership with Coursera. Few Coursera courses are ACE approved. The vast majority are not. ACE approvals are a fairly recent addition. Coursera continues to add courses all the time. Things will keep changing with them. 

I have been to over 10 colleges here in the US. Transferring credits has been an absolute nightmare for decades. I have decades of experience with this unfortunately. I also had experiences with UMPI before folks on here did. The whole BAS thing is weird. The whole you can't complete a second bachelor's degree after a BLS thing was weird. Because of people like me who kept pushing them and asking them questions over and over, they have made a ton of changes. They now allow a second bachelor's degree after graduating with a BLS. They are one of the most flexible schools out there. Excelsior - in my experience - sucks when it comes to flexibility and their advisors don't know anything. Their response time is dreadful if they even respond. WGU gave me 3 enrollment specialists when I applied for their MSML. I never completed the admissions process because no one would answer my emails or voicemails. Then there's the on campus programs I've attended. Just because you graduated with an associate degree from a SUNY school doesn't mean that you will be accepted to the program of your choice. Nor does it mean that they will accept 60+ credits from that associate degree and make you a junior. Sure, you're guaranteed admission into the university, but not your specific program which is really useless. Been there done that. Had the t-shirt and burned it.

The start seemed like a response to me, but the second half seemed more like a bio, perhaps for someone else; however, it was an excellent read and fantastic to see your academic journey.

With five Coursera certs counted at UMPI, covering four classes (+business electives), I don't carry the experience received from previous students. In addition, the new approval is due to the letters (emails) from my sister building a case and being the first to receive the approvals. We both believe the transfer credit success tends to be on the student much more than the school policies. My favorite response is no; the accepted challenge is to change them into a yes. It does not always work, but it has worked for our family at UMPI, TESU, WGU, ASU & USC (not to mention my father's doctorate journey). Super small sample size, though the process continues to be similar in how you get approval through not giving up.
