Evaluation

[odie313]

Just got my evaluation back.  Are there any classes I could still test out of before I start on August 30.

I still have to make an appointment with Jessica, the degree progress on the website versus the pdf she emailed to me has some conflicts.

Also had to resend my DSST/Dantes transcript. The two tests I have on there are : Principles of Finance and Introductions to World Religions, not sure if or what they will transfer into.

*sigh* I can't add, can you do this? There are 40 courses in total, how many are "completed" and how many are "not satisfied". I kept looking at the evaluation and there are different numbers. One shows 120 and 0 needed, yet another shows 3 taken, 117 needed - did you place multiple evaluations into one?! I know you have 133 credits... but you will need to do at least 30 at UMPI if you decide on them, did you apply elsewhere to see who would take "more" and allow you to finish "cheaper, easier, or faster"?

LOL, OK, so you have two active evaluations. It's a little confusing on what courses are not going into the second evaluation, that's concerning as it goes to one but not the other... I assume it's the major/minor that's got different courses. I would also see if WGU and Excelsior may take your credits more... Could you give us an update on how many credits are remaining when you follow up with Jessica?

Looks like there's plenty to take:

Sophia
Intro to Ethics
US History I or II
Environmental Science

Study.com
Biology 101L: Intro to Biology with Lab
Humanities 201: Critical Thinking & Analysis
Accounting 301: Applied Managerial Accounting
Business 303: Management Information Systems
Business 304: Leading Organizational Change
Business 310: Advanced Business Ethics
Business 306: Strategic Human Resources Management
Business 312: Advanced Operations Management
Business 307: Leadership & Organizational Behavior

These are ones that we know they'll take for GE (Sophia) and ones they list on the transfer guide from Study.com specifically.

I would map out the GEC and then the 2 majors, and then which courses will work for each one, and then make sure you have at least 30cr left. I think with 2 majors, you are safe and you'll have 10 classes minimum (and probably more like 15).

Looks like I am needing to set up an appointment with Jessica. I have questions that only she can probably answer.

Not sure why any of the General Ed for Project Management still needs to be taken. Hopefully it is a mistake. 

Should I take Humanities 103 at UMPI or is there an easier equivalent at Sophia.

I was planning on taking the core major and concentration classes at UMPI.

Does the course catalog reflect the YourPace program. When I look at the classes I need, they mostly seem to be in person on campus.

Would I still be able to take classes thru Sophia or Study and still transfer them into UMPI after I am enrolled in the YourPace Program.

When you search for UMPI courses do not rely on their catalog. Rely on Jessica. their oncampus and online platform is 100% different. Everything you need will be online through YourPace. This is a huge misconception and you're one of the many who assumes you need t ogo on campus.

All American college degrees require 2 years of General Education. 

HUM 103 outside of UMPI doesn't really have any equivalents. 

If you need better advice from us please list out exactly what you transferred and where from you transferred your credits.

Do NOT take all of those UL courses! You are required to complete most of the UL courses at UMPI.

You can't use the regular catalog for much except the GEC because it's for the on campus program. Jessica will take care of what you need in YourPace. 

The course catalog is NOT for YourPace. It's for on campus. Jessica has the list of YourPace courses available. 

Now that you've been accepted and transcripts evaluated, you need permission from Jessica to transfer in anymore classes. 

You should make a list of what classes your evaluation says you still need and post that list. Ashkir and I can help with that. We've both graduated from UMPI.

It's a Friday, wait for a response later on next week. You really just need to see how many courses came through and how many are left to take, the evaluation for one of them didn't really "complete" as it practically had no courses transferred over. The system may still need to be updated. Patience my friend, if either evaluation requires extra work, you should wait still before you start your journey to get more credits.

All American college degrees require 2 years of General Education. 

This is not true.  It's common to require 60cr of GE, but there are plenty of schools that don't: WGU only requires about 30cr, TESU only requires 45cr, COSC only requires 12 courses, many of which can overlap; UMPI only requires 42cr; Purdue Global only requires 9 courses.  These are all just off the top of my head.  There are MANY more than I could find that don't require 60cr of GE (especially if they allow free electives, which most do).

Study.com has Humanities 201: Critical Thinking & Analysis that according to the chart transfer into UMPI as HUM-103
https://study.com/college/school/umpi.html

One trick with Study.com is they let you see the assignments without being a member so you could write up the assignments ahead of time.  Then when you become a member, turn them all in at once.

Get the Sophia stuff done, get the Study.com Biology 101L done.

You may run into diminishing returns in continuing to do more Study.com courses in which cause it may be better to start at UMPI on 08/30 and plan on doing 2 to 3 terms there.
