Pierpont Issues

[joev6872]

Yes, it's a waiting game, Pierpont updates you when/if there are issues, and at the time being, as you mentioned, continue working on courses you need for your transition to UMPI.  Depending on your degree, all the credits you have taken for the Pierpont degree should transfer to UMPI seamlessly (such as the BAS or BLS as they have 60 credits for free electives).

Thank you for responding.  With all of the thoughtful responses I've received today, I'm much more at peace with just allowing the bureaucracy of administration take its course and move forward with the my Bachelors studies.  Thanks again!

Well, I guess my experience thus far with collegiate administration will prepare me to endure much of the same... Thank you for the heads up with that little nugget of information.  Best Regards.

Also remember that it's pretty slow for a lot of colleges during the summer, so more administrative people take time off then - and then it gets super busy right at the beginning of the fall semester.  So it may take a few weeks for things to get worked out.

Good afternoon.  Before I go in to my current issue with Pierpont, I'd like to thank all of the contributors here on this forum.  Without this forum and the messages posted, I would have never had the motivation to continue my collegiate education.

Okay, the reason I'm posting today, is because I am having issues with how Pierpont has allocated my credits.

I sent in all of my transcripts back in June.  The transcripts sent in were as follows:

Sophia


Art History I - 3
Art History II - 3
Business Law - 3
Conflict Resolution - 3
Developing Effective Teams - 1
Environmental Science - 3
Human Biology - 3
Introduction to Business - 3
Introduction to Chemistry - 3
Introduction to Ethics - 3
Introduction to Information Technology - 3
Introduction to Nutrition - 3
Introduction to Statistics - 3
Introduction to Web Development - 3
Macroeconomics - 3
Microeconomics - 3 
Principles of Finance - 3
Project Management - 3
Visual Communications - 3
Workplace Communication - 3

CLEP

US History I - 3
US History II - 3
American Government - 3

TEL Learning

1 graded credit transcribed through Mid American Christian University 
3.0 GPA

My ROAR account states that I am deficient 12 credits in the required areas. It states that I need the following:

3 credits in Communications
3 credits in Computer Literacy 
6 credit in Math/Sciences
 
They allocated 3 credits for Macroeconomics to satisfy the Social Science requirement.

The remaining 45 free elective credits were satisfied using the credits from the list above.

What am I missing?  Doesn't Intro Statistics meet the math requirement?  Doesn't one of any of the 4 science classes meet the Science requirement?  Doesn't Introduction to Information Technology meet the Computer Literacy requirement?  Doesn't Visual Communications or Workplace Communication fulfill the Communications requirement?  I'm truly baffled....

Any opinions here would be most appreciated.

Lastly, as a thank you I will be posting my Lawshelf Affiliate code as thank you and encourage you all to use it. The code will allow you to buy 1 course and get 1 free.  I will be posting that in another thread later in the day.  I can personally tell you, that as a Paralegal myself.  These courses are very user friendly and concise.  

Thanks Again Folks!

My initial transcript evaluation was the same way, and Nancy told me I only needed some "other" things.  I had worried about it, since ROAR was always different than what Nancy had told me.  In the end, Nancy works with the Registrar, and manually audits the credits/requirements.  Everything had worked out, just like she had said.   After you e-mail her, she'll double check it for you.

Essentially, it's the 'final audit' that determines everything, you need to wait for that to be sent to the registrar to complete.
