International Student (Singapore)

You can get in contact with UMPI staff, but they don't make the option easily available through their website. Both ashkir and ss20ts are former UMPI students who should better know who to contact regarding questions you might have.

Unfortunately, we haven't had a lot of students from Singapore (yet), so we're not as knowledgeable about what or what might not be needed for admission to YourPace. Most countries have a "school leaving certificate" or something along those lines to prove that they have finished the first 12 or so years of school and have graduated from secondary school. Singapore is confusing enough that I can't find any straight answer on the subject of what is actually needed and not just telling you to take the SAT exam, etc. (UMPI doesn't require the SAT for YourPace) and pay the site for information. Yikes! No.

That said, for evaluation, I think you only need to pay for the generic evaluation and not the course by course. Someone just needs to say "Yes, tryingohsohard has actually finished the Singaporian equivalent of high school. They're good to go to university." (In the US, Associate degrees are considered university-level.) It'd be different if you were trying to transfer Singaporian university credits to UMPI.

You are enrolled once you say you want to attend. Summer 1 session just started. If you applied for Summer 2, you can tell them that you want to defer enrollment until Fall 1 because you want to finish up some additional credits first. That's fine.
