UMPI WGU and Pell Grant

[Chimera]

Without the full overview of the situation, you can try doing the following steps.  Apply and email WGU/UMPI regarding completing their degrees with the full Pell Grant

Different yet similar strategy to what I mentioned earlier here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid432809

In short, you want to max your transfer of credit with both UMPI and WGU before you enroll with either of them.
1) Transfer everything into the BAS with the minor of choice, plus 3-4 classes that go towards the MAOL, and if you need more classes for residency purposes, add another second minor (this is the most critical step)
2) Complete the required classes for the BAS with intended minor, but don't graduate (indicate you want to change a different minor)

3) Complete the required classes for your WGU undergraduate degree after you've max the transfer credit
4) Apply to graduate both degrees at the same time, effectively maxing or using your Fin Aid...
5) With tuition assistance or reimbursement, complete the UMPI MAOL, repeat with WGU Masters the following year

So the idea would be to
1. Max transfer credits for both degrees (if obtaining WGU credits pushed me into next year do you think I would qualify for pell again ? Some of the required Certifications are hefty)

2. Enroll in UMPI BAS using tuition reimbursement complete my minor and have a second minor hanging

3. Enroll in WGU BS with pell complete up to graduation

4. Graduate from both at the same time and use the reminder of Tuition reimbursement to finish off MAOL

One concern would be if I complete the UMPI BAS and leave it hanging does that mean I would have to pay for each term that UMPI is resting in the background while I complete WGU ? If I’ve 100%ed the degree is there any way for me to pause or unenroll from UMPI then return to graduate without taking an additional 30 residency credits ?

I know WGU offers a three month gap so potentially I could do it out of order and have WGU hang on the last class before graduation.
