If you maximize your transfers, verbalize your desire to accelerate, and spend a couple hours planning, it can be done. No not everyone is in a rush, however, I imagine the whole point of transferring so much credit and "attending" a competency based program such as UMPI is because folks don't have lots of money to pay for 2 or 3 terms. Even paying for one term is tough for some. I should actually reframe the situation for OP... if she/he plans carefully, and they have the time or made the time (which is part of planning), then he/she will move through the courses faster than they think. Keeping in mind, of course, that everyone writes at a different pace.(01-20-2024, 02:24 AM)indigoshuffle Wrote: You should be transferring in more. I know someone who transferred in over 145 credits via sophia, SL, SDC, TEEX, community college, and Saylor. She's going to be done with UMPI in a record 2 weeks because she's an ocd workaholic. MAXIMIZE YOUR TRANSFER CREDITS PRIOR TO ENROLLMENT OR YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY. Some of the UMPI degree plans are WRONG in so far as the upper level credit is concerned; but they still provide a solid starting point. Read everything and follow instructions. All the information is already available.
Sure she transferred in 145 credits, but there's more to the story. I transferred in over 190 credits. We all still must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI and meet all other residency requirements such as minors, required ULs, GEC, etc. I don't see how anyone can complete their 10 courses in 2 weeks just based on how long grading alone takes. Everyone isn't in a rush to complete their degree in 1 term.
