My Transfer Credits Arrived! Now what?

[BarleyWhine]

Good afternoon all of you lovelies,

I FINALLY have a listing of all my credits in one location -- UMPI has had their first run at my transcripts and I don't really take issue with anything they've rejected (all F, D, and W coursework got rejected as expected).

I have attached their transfer credit transcript and I am interested to know where I sit with respect to requirements toward a degree. I have not yet had my sit-down with Jessica to discuss this and would like a few pointers before having that conversation.

If it changes the conversation any, I already have a degree and this would be a second degree. I'm looking at one of the Business Administration degrees, likely Supply Chain or Project Management.

Could someone please point me toward the degree requirements spreadsheets?

And a couple of specific questions:

- I have a course called Public Speaking currently marked as a GEL -- is there no requirement for a speech course? I feel like that should maybe come in as a defined course.
- They don't yet have my CLEP credit reflected here even though I sent that in a few weeks ago. Should I be looking in a different location for that? I have the following CLEPs:

• Information Systems (74)
  
• Principles Of Marketing (77)
  
• Principles Of Management (73)
  
• Financial Accounting (67)
  
• Introductory Business Law (71)

Since it appears I am exempt from the GEC requirements, I took a first pass at the Business Core.
This is a little disappointing:

CLEP exams generally take a while - I think it's a paper transcript that's mailed out. So that will come in later.

But, since it's a second degree, it doesn't really matter what everything comes in as, unless it's for the BABA; you won't need to worry about GE's or Free Electives, just the major/minor/concentration.

Your Public Speaking course transferred as a GEL course. Speech is not a GEC requirement.

http://catalog.umpi.edu/content.php?catoid=4&navoid=153

Since you've already completed a bachelor's degree, you're exempt from the GEC. You need to complete 30 credits in the major at UMPI - not GEC or general elective courses. The major includes the Business Administration and Concentration courses.

BUS353 is NOT Business Law and they have not accepted any Business Law courses for this course.

Before taking any CLEP exams make sure they will transfer for the courses you're hoping for. They will eventually show up in your MaineStreet account. You can ask about them when you meet with your academic advisor.

ECO207 requires you to transfer in both macro & micro economics or else you have to take this course because it's both at UMPI.

MAT3xx will not be accepted for MAT140. Business Math is easy.

I took the CLEPs anyway for personal reasons and am trying to shoe-horn a degree out of them after the fact, but if I lose a little credit it ain't no bag, I didn't pay for them.

I've made a few edits on the credit, taking the CLEP transfer sheet into consideration: https://mycampus.maine.edu/c/document_li...pId=223854

I am looking at an old catalog right now but there's precedent for a Calculus I course to take the place of Business Math. Though I agree, it's not a huge deal if I get to take some baby math again.

It appears to me with the credits I have in the bank that the Management and Leadership concentration is going to be the most advantageous path forward. By my count, I'm still 42 hours away. Now, I need to decide whether to try to bring in 12 more hours of Sophia/Study.com credit or roll it into an all-you-can-eat semester. 30 all at once would be extremely busy, but 21 hours twice? That's probably a lot closer to doable.

Interestingly, that is not how they transferred mine in -- I have Micro and Macro for credit but they did a grade-replace and called the other one "repeat credit". Maybe that's the mechanism they use to do it, though. I can't know.

He did take both Macro and Microecon.  They're listed there, showing a "repeat" which I guess is their way of saying there's nowhere for that extra credit to go (if this was a first degree, I think they would give 3cr down in electives?).

Yeah you need both but you don't get 6 credits for ECO207. If someone doesn't have 90 transfer credits they'll get 3 for ECO207 and then 3 GEL credits in their general electives but since the OP already has a degree there's no general electives to fill.
