Degree Plan Advice - BA in Psych UMPI Yourpace
#1
Hi everyone. I have attached my full plan for my BA in Psych at UMPI via YourPace.

Thank you in advance for any help. Here is some info about me.

Your Location: NC
Your Age: 35
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 49 (local CC - RCC & SNHU). The RCC credits are probably 10 years old but will be used for electives and one Gen Ed, I'm assuming they will be accepted. They were accepted at SNHU but that was also in 2017 so the RCC credits were not as old at the time. 
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None but signing up for Sophia today, starting courses tomorrow.
Any certifications or military experience?: Nothing relevant
Commitments: Remote job, but workload is currently very light
Dedicated time to study: at least 40 hours per week (also work fast, no real struggles with academics)

I will complete 40 credits at Sophia/study.com & 33 at UMPI (12 classes, one is an orientation for Gen Ed, so really 11).

My questions:
1. Is 11 courses at UMPI realistic to complete in one 8 week term? If not, two?
2. Is it typical that all of my RCC & SNHU credits that aren't used for Gen Ed & Psych, would be eligible to be used as elective credits as I have them allocated in my spreadsheet?
3. Should I wait until I finish all of my Sophia/study.com course to apply for UMPI? I plan to take 2 weeks at the max to do the 14 Sophia/Study course so that if I need to wait to apply to UMPI until after I finish them, I can apply by 1/15/24 for the March 10th start date (this will have me applying 2 weeks before the deadline). This is an area of concern because I have read that it takes a while to get everything done as the staff at UMPI are still adjusting to the influx of YourPace students. 
4. General advice/feedback on my plan please. Any major holes or issues I am not seeing? I did sub in some of the psych classes that may be a bit more difficult/time consuming bc my plan is to immediately start a Masters in CMHC or Clinical Psych program once I get my BA, so my thinking is that it is beneficial to take some of the more advanced classes. Any thoughts on that? If it won't make much difference, I will opt in for the easier course load.

A note - I don't have my RCC transcript yet. IT is requested but it's a small school in a rural area. I went by the transferred credit list from my SNHU transcript, assuming that the ones SNHU transferred in, UMPI would also.

I appreciate anyone that is willing to take a look and help me out, thank you!
