Accepted

[prissy1pris]

I just received my email that I have been accepted.  I transferred all my credits from WGU.  I had 72 credits from them.  When or where do I see what transferred over? I have my Maine account. I can see the dashboard. But there aren't any details on what transferred or Financial Aid.  And there's 2 blue boxes for application status and student status.  The legend shows that means matriculated/confirmed.  What does that mean??

Transfer credit is not evaluated with your acceptance. It will take a few weeks for your transcripts to be evaluated. You will be able to see them on MaineStreet once they've been processed.

Your admissions acceptance also doesn't have anything to do with financial aid. Have you filed your FAFSA? Is it for the correct year? Financial Aid cannot award you until you're registered for classes.

Yes and yes.  I'll be patient.

You are right behind me in the process.  I was accepted by UMPI on June 7th, and Transfer Credit Evaluation was completed on June 19th.  I checked daily and saw it in the Dashboard of the Student Portal, under Transfer Credit Evaluation Report, and then I selected the Degree Progress Report, to see what Areas had not yet been achieved.

Don't go by the Degree Progress Report. That's for on campus students. Your academic advisor will email you your degree evaluation form. That will show what you've completed already and what you have left to complete. Make sure you review it and make sure everything transfers where you think it's supposed to. If you have questions, ask us. This is done manually and errors are sometimes made.

Man, I wish I would have done more research on going back to school years ago. I feel like I wasted time at WGU.

Oh no! 

I saw the Transfer Credit Report, and then I went into the Degree Progress Report this AM.
The Degree Progress Report had a Satisfied or Not Satisfied for each category, and showed me what class I took that satisfied it.
So you are saying, this could be wrong?
So I should just wait then for Jessica to send me her formal audit and blueprint for me?

Should I still take something I'm sure I need, such as Macro and Micro Econ at Sophia in the meantime?

Aw, don't feel that way. Any experience and credit from WGU is only going to make you more capable.  Like you, I didn't do this years ago, when I should have, but the way I look at it is this:  15 years ago online education wasn't regarded as highly as now.  When I was an executive recuruiter, I had a Client Manager at AmEx, tell me not to send him anybody who graduated from the University of Phx online college, that it was not a brick and mortar school.  Nowadays, that very college is so well-known for its
arduous online programs, that candidates who graduate from there are immediately valued.  

Life happens in between life happening.  No more looking back for you, it's onward to your destiny!

If it helps any, this UMPI program is only a few years old. Both ashkir and ss20ts were the first students to go through UMPI and that was in 2020/2021. We knew literally nothing about it and still would know nothing if they hadn't pioneered and gave everything a try with the credits they had at the time. "Years ago", your best option for a CBE degree would have been WGU. You didn't waste time. You went with what has historically been one of the best options for a quick/affordable degree.

Yeah the Degree Progress Report isn't always accurate for YourPace students. You have to go by the degree evaluation Jessica will complete for you. Yeah keep taking the classes you need from Sophia. When are you scheduled to start UMPI?

WGU also offers a lot of programs UMPI doesn't offer. There are services available at WGU that aren't available at UMPI. The networking one can do on LinkedIn as a WGU is alumni is amazing. That's not something that really exists with UMPI.
