Hello! So I'm going to start off with suggesting you create a spreadsheet that lays out everything you need to complete your degree and will be your roadmap for finishing your program. That way you can keep it up to date and stay organized.
1. Sophia U.S. Government will transfer in as POS101, which will cover both the major requirement and the GEC requirement.
2. You'll want to reference the U of Maine transfer equivalency tool to determine what credits from Athabasca will transfer in for specific courses. In my experience, if its not available on the transfer tool, it goes in as general elective. However, once you get admitted and get your transfer audit done, you can continue to transfer in other forms of credit with permission. You are not required to enroll in classes immediately and can spend the time you need doing Sophia courses. However, doing your best to create an accurate spreadsheet will help minimize the amount of extra work you are doing and the time it takes you to complete your degree.
3. If certain classes transfer in as UL POS classes, they will count towards satisfying your major requirement. However, you must keep in mind the residency requirement at UMPI.
Hopefully that helps!
