15 Hours in Residence Required

[Lorvey]

Guys, I've successfully registered for pierpont. But it shows 15 Hours in Residence Required, how can I meet it? I have 45 credits completed in foreign schools that are equivalent to RA schools in the United States. Is this all right? In addition, can the gpa obtained at a foreign school be transferred to meet the requirements of a 2.0GPA?

Thank you very much.

The online degree viewer tool thingie isn't really meant to work with the BOG degrees. Unless they've changed policies recently, 15 residency credits aren't required. Transfer in everything, then contact Nancy Parks for your next steps.

Nah, it’s the same. I graduated in December and it still says I haven’t met the requirements on there. lol

Yeah, you don't use that, everything goes through Lisa for final audit... It's great to review what it says in the academic evaluation though, it'll show you all the classes you have, if you create a spreadsheet, make sure it has all the requirements filled in as per the Pierpont WIKI. There are no residency requirements at Pierpont, you just need 1 RA and all requirements fulfilled using Sophia.org

Thank you very much. The only question now is whether pierpont will accept transcripts from accredited schools in China. 
The official agency that sends transcripts in China is called the Student Information Network (CSSD), which is similar to the NSC in the United States.
 As far as I know, UMPI accepts transcripts sent directly by CSSD without the need for WES authentication. 
Who should I ask if pierpont accepts transcripts sent by CSSD?

You would send the inquiry to Nancy or Lisa, those are the current people who handle the program... I would skip Pierpont unless you're a Citizen or US PR, just go directly for the UMPI degree. You can get the UMPI AALS on route to the Bachelors of choice.
