Before you apply, there are some things that you need to keep in mind:Why only 90 credits? On the YourPace site it says you can bring in an unlimited amount of unspecified credits. Did they change their policies recently?
- You are permitted to bring in up to 90 credits.
Nothing has changed. A bachelor's degree requires 120 credits and you must complete a minimum of 25% of the degree requirements at UMPI. They only accept 90 transfer credits towards your degree. You must complete at least 30 credits at UMPI. My transcripts show over 200 credits, but I still had to complete at least 30 at UMPI.

I completed 3 minors. I was capped at 90 transfer credits. You can't complete additional majors. Those would be additional bachelor's degrees. If you want and are able to complete 2 bachelor's degrees, you'll need to complete a minimum of 30 additional credits at UMPI. Finish your first one first, then worry about the second one. It's easier if you've already graduated to complete the second one. I'm doing this right now.
If what you are saying is correct, UMPI would not allow double majors. But in their regulations it states that double majors are allowed. Or are double majors not allowed on YourPace? It does not state so on their homepage, which is quite odd. But since you are a student at UMPI, perhaps you have knowledge about the issue that has not been publicised?
