Hello again. I wanted to come back to share that I was awarded the BOG AAS WV degree and New River CTC added the emphasis as Paraeducator (PierPoint CC didn't confirm questions before classes started so I sort of was fortunate to have the Paraeducator but it was over FinAid award for 3 credits of Pell and I had to pay about $230 or near that, I can add that amount later here.
I now sent transcripts which cost around $50-$60 to each of APUS which had some transcripts already, Excelsior University, and UMPI.
APUS had one Itawamba CC 200 level course to transfer in as a 300 level course with about 51 extra unused credits left on the AA Human Development and Child Studies program. I suppose that would correlate to the APUS BA Family Development and Child Studies program that would require the 30 UL courses. But, there were 2 or 3 other 200 level credits in the unused courses for the AA that might transfer to their BA program as UL credits. The AA program is the same courses except 111Observation Techniques and 2--Introduction to blah blah but I can fill that in later because I can't look now while on the phone very well.
The Excelsior's team finished their evaluation before UMPI which I paid to send to UMPI a week or two before Excelsior. Yes UMPI has the transcripts but does not want to complete it until after enrollment then some days or weeks away can tell me what they have transferred and FinAid which Excelsior hasn't said what the FinAid will be yet either but they are faster than UMPI. But Excelsior transferred about 89 67/100 but no UL from LL credits as APUS did. During today's waiting on Excelsior and UMPI by emails, I was thinking of taking as many UL courses at UMPI if they would transfer out to APUS due to Excelsior perhaps being lower priced but they have just about 3 courses in the 300 level on the degree description so I suppose their other UL requirements come from General's. But UMPI says it could take days and weeks to finish transcript evaluation.
Therefore, I can view APUS courses now in pre-view that start next week for 8 weeks. The Excelsior classes start after those end, I think. But Excelsior wants students to take crazy cornerstone and capstone, ethics and tech or something which might be okay if you have all your UL or got them from Google. I wasn't guided by any so-called advisers and ended up taking to many LL courses overall in most regards.
So I have an BOG AAS, the college graduate now. But I need about 30 UL credits for a Bachelor's almost irregardless of what route taken?!
I should say I also enrolled in APUS MATH 110 College Algebra which would satisfy Itawamba CC AA reverse transfer degree (ICC might have cued me in when asking what I needed for ICC as I thought the transcripts showed I just needed 101 in Microsoft Word Applications or I might have did College Algebra at recent New River CTC and had enough credits to qualify for FinAid loan to pay. But overall that might be alright as APUS College Algebra is not proctored. Which is nice for you all to know through my heck of education gone awry as ICC and others leave it to students to go take classes and send transcripts then they can tell you more.
Maybe if I stay in the APUS AA program or shift to the BA, the Algebra course is not needed at APUS which had already Math for Liberal Arts majors a few years ago. Then afterward perhaps opt for their certificate from Itawamba CC in ECE CDT where I am not likely to return for the clinical hours in training. Until later if ever. I was not looking for that degree but started there as an in an AA General Studies program but that also was due only to classes were in late registration or near so. The adviser for that dept stuck me in that category like a major after taking a few ECE courses along with my sciences. That helped me get the GPA up and Phi Theta Kappa sent offer to membership after hitting the 3.5 GPA for in-school purposes. I would have made the Deans List but that year I didn't for either being online or part-time.
So anyway, it's at the crossroads, take Associate's, take Bachelor's of anything which all need 30 credits or a capstone too, switch to BA at APUS to see if they list more unused 200 level credits that wasn't counted in the BA and at some point finish the 110 College Algebra course for ICC if wanting or falling back on that route.
So this is not really what I see myself doing anyway in life except some possible office work or remote work grading school papers unless I change degrees. Then other options involve moving to the BA program and working in the College Algebra program later; finishing other Associates program; changing degree to certificate back at ICC in CDT. Or moving on to another degree plan but at least I might can pass the College Algebra at APUS. So I am in two 300 level classes in this current AA program that at least are part of the BA program too. I have 4 courses in AA and the extra Algebra course. I might have to scuttle some courses to reach 30 UL credits as idea plan overall. But then if BA is not completed at APUS they say they don't allow downshifting their credits form Bachelor to Associate level. So all these universities use little different processes than others that they use to make people take classes that won't transfer everywhere even if same degree fields.
I would state that the College Algebra doesn't seem to have a proctored exam but will be able to verify completely when viewing again.
