Got my transcript credit evaluation from UMPI

[acethroughcollege]

Hi everyone,

I got my undergraduate advisement from Jessica Yesterday!

Here are the key points:
1- SDC's project management did not transfer in as BUS 141. It transferred in as  bus elective. 
2- Ancient Greek Philosophers did not apply to GEC 4C. I'm going to ask Jessica about that one.
3- CLEP transcript has not come in yet. I have 7 courses of CLEP. (Am Govt, Hist 1 and 2, Anlyz and Int Lit, Princ Mgmt., Princ Mkt.)
4-Google Data Analytics course came in as BUS 245 with 12 credits! 
5- Instantcert Spanish was accepted, I took it in January


I have attached my Credit evaluation below if anyone wants to see it. 


I expected to have to take 10 courses to complete the degree. But looking at the evaluation it has 17 unsatisfied courses to complete.

Did I do something wrong with maxing out the transfer credits?

Perhaps some of those remaining courses will be satisfied with the CLEP transcript?

@OP, UMPI BABA PM & IS is a good option, you mentioned the 7 CLEP scores haven't been sent in yet for evaluation, it may not have been processed yet, so I would just wait to "start" the degree at the end of the month and work on those remaining 10 or so. I see you have a language and a bio course, did that include the lab already?

When American Government & History come in, that should take care of at least 2 classes (5B & 5E). I'm not sure that Principles of Marketing or Principles of Management will go anywhere except electives, but I don't know. I don't see CLEP in the transfer database, but it looks like Principles of Management from other sources is usually either BUS101 or BUS1XX elective. Principles of Marketing from other sources is BUS330. SDC's Analyzing & Interpreting Literature class comes in as ENG 105. If the CLEP is the same, it'll meet objective 2E.

With 3 from CLEP and (hopefully) 1 from Greek Philosophers, that would bring you down from 17 classes to 13. You could possibly bring this down further by taking 2 or 3 (UL?) classes from SDC, but that might or might not be worth it to you.

Just an FYI.... this is not the degree evaluation. Jessica will email it to you once you're enrolled and have a meeting with her. The degree evaluation form makes waaaaaaaay more sense than this printout does. I never liked reading through this because it was difficult to follow and doesn't flow. Like it bounces all over the place and the GEC isn't in an specific order neither are the major courses. 

1. On Study, it says that Project Management transfers as an UL business elective. 
2. Ask Jessica.
3. The transcripts are paper mailed I believe so they take longer. Here's how CLEP transfers to UMPI. Nothing comes in as Eng Comp 2 if that's what you were hoping for. 
4. We've seen this cert come in for 3-4 classes. Typically it's not all 12 credits for BUS245 so this may be adjusted. It's a 3 credit course so giving 12 credits for it is odd. 
5. It was still valid in January. 

Have you taken Ethics on Sophia? Ethics fills several areas of the GEC.

Yes They accepted it as Bio with lab.

I really want to have to only take 10 courses. So it is worth it to me. I don't think I really have room to take any more that will transfer in as more than just electives. Do I?

Hmmm...so if I take Ethics will that get the number of courses I have to take down?  I don't need any more electives. I just want to fill requirements.

I don't know if I have a need in the GEC for Ethics.

[rachel83az]

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it says you have 27 out of 40 elective credits. I think you have to have some UL electives, though most of your UL credits need to be taken at UMPI.

Looking at it again, though, I'm kind of confused. It says you only need to complete 25 credits. But 25 / 17 is less than 1.5 credits per class. 

[ss20ts]

Yes, the OP only need 25 more credits. However, the OP MUST complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI. I transferred in 190+ credits.

Ethics fills 2A, 2B, 4C, and 5D of the GEC. #8 says you still need ethics.

I am so confused. I guess I will take Ethics then. Is there an option at UMPI?

But won't ancient greek philosophers cover that requirement? According to this chart, it does.

Jessica will email it to you once you're enrolled and have a meeting with her.

Just to clarify, a meeting isn't an given anymore. She is absolutely happy to chat via email, and there is absolutely the ability to schedule a meeting, but it isn't the default position.
