Hmm, wasn't it just two sciences - a natural science with lab and a non lab science? So, for example, they already have Human Biology and Environmental science, can't they just take the Human Biology Lab along and be done with it?

No, you've got it slightly confused. You need a biological science and a physical science. At least one of these needs a lab. Sophia offers a few options now, but the easiest for most is going to be Human Biology w/ lab and Environmental Science. Another possibility would be Intro to Chemistry w/ lab and Intro to Nutrition.

I had Intro to Chem plus Human Biology before I applied.  The chem lab was released first but before I was admitted, so I did the lab asap and therefore my physical science was covered (Chem), my biological science was covered (Human Bio) and I added the lab that marched the physical science (chem lab).  I don't think they care which one has a lab, as long as one of the two sciences has a matching lab from the same provider.

To elaborate on what I mentioned earlier, you do need a natural science with lab and a non lab natural science. Natural science is split into multiple subjects, Bio, Chem, Environmental/Geology, Physics... Having said that, you need to make sure it hits all the objectives listed below, and you can do that by 'mix/match' of just two science courses.

Learning Objectives C

Looks like theoretically, UMPI would accept someone with either Environmental Science, Chemistry or Biology from Sophia or Geology or Metorology from other alt credit websites with Anatomy & Physiology I (plus lab)

What we don't know is if they have a class number for Microbiology.

Microbiology does transfer to UMPI but isn't accepted for the GEC.

You MUST have a biological science at UMPI as it is 3C of the GEC. 3D is physical science. 3E is a lab science which can also be the science course from either 3C or 3D as long as it has a lab.

Not quite right.  You need a biological science and a physical science plus a matching lab for one of those, but it can be either one.

I hope they have more interesting courses than what is listed.  It seems like we are being forced to take everyone else’s minor courses to meet our free electives. For context: I am a BLS major.

You have control of what you want to take at UMPI, it doesn't have to fit the entire minor anyway, your minor doesn't have enough credits, you can also transfer classes from elsewhere, such as ACE options from Sophia.org, Study.com, etc. 60 credits are electives that can be anything you want...

Hello, everyone. I am a student of the second semester in the fall of 2023. The school replied that I can download the electronic diploma in four weeks. Where can I download it? I still haven't received the email from parchment prompting me to get the electronic diploma.
