Thank you!
UMPI's YP program isn't really designed for non-degree seeking students. Non-degree seeking students are typically those who have had issues in the past with a low GPA. You'd still have to apply and send your transcripts. Below is from the UMPI catalog and it is about on campus students, but it may give you an idea that yes you need to apply and send transcripts.
Non-Degree Admission
UMPI is committed also to serving the educational interests and aspirations of academically qualified individuals interested in taking courses for personal enrichment, job advancement, and expanded awareness.
Non-matriculated study is arranged through the Registrar’s Office in Preble Hall.
Enrollment in credit-bearing courses requires a high school diploma or its equivalent, and evidence of such may be required. The University may require additional evidence that the non-matriculated student is qualified to study at the 200 level and above. Permission to study full-time (12 or more hours in a semester) in a non-matriculated status may be granted in exceptional cases.
I know that's been offered to some people who apply and can't get in, but no, there is a real non-degree option for yourpace (the quote you provided from the catalog isn't specifically for YourPace). I've been enrolled for two semesters, starting last Spring, and was never asked to send any transcripts. They used to have a full page for it on the sight, but now there's just this blurb on the homepage:
Not sure if YourPace is right for you? Enroll in one of our sessions to try it out. If you decide that you would like to pursue a degree, credits that you have earned as a non-degree student can transfer to your degree completion.
You just go here https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/certificat...e-options/ and click "Transferring somewhere else." Like I said in my original post it took a while but they eventually emailed me. The main benefit was when I started, you could only take two courses at a time, but this allowed you to do three, however I believe that restriction is gone now.
