bjcheung77 Mod Edit: Oct 4 is the graduation application deadline for Pierpont, you apply at least a week or two early, I would apply for grad today as I mentioned. Even though you're doing classes for Sophia.org in Sept, you don't need to send them everything by Oct 4, you just need to apply for grad. You can send the Sophia.org classes once you are done a 'batch' at a time, say 10 classes using Credly. Try to get everything complete before Oct 15, or third week of Oct and send those in, the latest is end of Oct as they need to go through grad audit beginning of Nov for Dec 2024 graduation.

Have there been any international graduates of BOG AAS?
Is it just me or is Pierpont blocking access to non-US IP addresses.. I've emailed their IT Help Desk but it's kind of funny they allow admissions from internationals yet block access to ROAR and email via their firewall rules LOL!

Pierpont site (ROAR) mostly allows non-US IP addresses, the only limited thing is login to their MS SSO (it is very rarely needed for my.pierpont.edu - once a month?.. But yes, it is always needed for email).
Use some random US VPN for that MS SSO, and it will work fine (I am using Firefox and free VPN USA lite add-on).
I am still patiently waiting for the graduation... Or some message.

Thanks - I'll try it out. It seems they block some VPNs as well. I had tried it out with Opera's in-built VPN but that was blocked as well. Annoying.

I used a valid US address to send the paper access code, but I did everything else abroad. Also phoned Pierpont's help desk to fully access ROAR. Luckily, long distance phone calls are much cheaper today than 15 years ago. I graduated Dec 2023. I will assume either this IP address depends on which foreign country or they implemented this change just a few months ago.

Just got an email about changes with login to Pierpont:
Quote:In an effort to simplify the login process, the way you access the Portal is changing Monday morning, August 26th.
Prior to the change, if you clicked the Portal link from pierpont.edu, it would direct you to the following page asking for a username and password.

Going forward, the Portal link will now direct you to the Microsoft O365 login page, just like you were logging into your email account. It will look like the following:
[MS SSO page]
So even for my.pierpont.edu - VPN will be needed.
P.S. Still not graduated.

Hi all,
Just had a quick question regarding sending in my credits to Pierpont...
On the wiki its telling me sent my in my credits to ESprocessing@pierpont.edu rather then admit@pierpont.edu. Is this still the case??
With everything going on I'm worried I only have one chance to send these in and I don't want to do it wrong.
Thank you so much!

esprocessing@pierpont.edu worked best when handling transcripts for my son.

I sent my Sophia transcripts through them and had no issues at all, came through within two days or so. I also have tried sending in the ASU graded credit (around 7/18) but nothing has come up quite yet. I also know that they're extremely backed up with that side of it, so I can let you know when that comes in, or I might try again and see what happens.

Hey all, I believe I have all that’s necessary for the BOG degree. I’ve sent the Credly transcript for my Sophia courses and my community college transcript to David Beighley. It’s been about 2 weeks with no response from him. I was able to get to Nancy but all she did was point me back to Mr. Beighley.
Any way to expedite this process or should I start looking elsewhere to obtain an Associates Degree?
