The application process is not entirely UMPI's fault. They don't actually process the application. The applications are handled by the U of M system which is complicated. By admissions counselor, do you mean enrollment counselor? They're basically sales people and don't offer much help at all. UMPI is moving to hiring their own staff for this finally!
You'll find that most colleges in the US will require all transcripts with no exceptions. It's not a financial aid rule. It's a college rule and they don't often bend it. Yes, financial aid requires them, too.
If you sent official transcripts as requested, you probably wouldn't have wasted a month. U of M doesn't consider your documentation to be completed until they receive all transcripts so the shuffling around from people to people kept your application open.
I had to send at least 8 transcripts to UMPI and I graduated from high school in 1993 so I get it. Typically, colleges want official transcripts for transfer credit. You transferred credit to UMPI so they want the provider who originally gave you credit to prove it. There's a lot of fraud out in the world unfortunately.
