UMPI WGU and Pell Grant

[ss20ts]

So the idea would be to
1. Max transfer credits for both degrees (if obtaining WGU credits pushed me into next year do you think I would qualify for pell again ? Some of the required Certifications are hefty)

2. Enroll in UMPI BAS using tuition reimbursement complete my minor and have a second minor hanging

3. Enroll in WGU BS with pell complete up to graduation

4. Graduate from both at the same time and use the reminder of Tuition reimbursement to finish off MAOL

One concern would be if I complete the UMPI BAS and leave it hanging does that mean I would have to pay for each term that UMPI is resting in the background while I complete WGU ? If I’ve 100%ed the degree is there any way for me to pause or unenroll from UMPI then return to graduate without taking an additional 30 residency credits ?

I know WGU offers a three month gap so potentially I could do it out of order and have WGU hang on the last class before graduation.

Again once you complete a bachelor's degree, there is no more Pell. If you get a BS in cybersecurity then the BAS will not help you at all career wise so why bother with it? You cannot complete 2 bachelor's degrees and receive Pell. You cannot graduate at the same time. At WGU your degree will be conferred within a few days of completion. Pausing a degree can cause more problems. Face it, you can't get Pell for 2 bachelor's degrees.
