Sophia's page is often out of date. The catalog is written for courses at UMF not ACE transfer credit. It does say students need 2 sciences nad a science lab. UMF is assuming that students will take the courses there not on Sophia. Did he ask Jessica if another science course from Sophia would be acceptable? Back in May UMPI made changes to what they accept from Sophia and how courses are transferred in.
Being an online student anywhere you kind of have to learn to fend for yourself and really become your own advocate. It can be difficult because you don't know who to contact sometimes. Transferring ACE credits is difficult at most colleges in my experience. UMPI has been extremely accommodating with ACE courses. I wouldn't be surprised to see them accept fewer Sophia and Study courses in the future. Several of the courses on Sophia just didn't line up with what you learn at UMPI so I wasn't really surprised to see the changes in May. I say this because I did repeat a class at UMPi from Sophia and the 2 classes had nothing in common.
