UMPI

[ss20ts]

I hope I can manage to get into UMPI! Does anyone know if any international students have been successfully admitted and if so, whether they were required to get anything certified from WES? All my transcripts apart from high-school would be from sophia but getting my high-school evaluated would cost close to 300$ and take months as well as potentially not being an option due to the pandemics impact on postal/verification institutes in my country. Does anyone have any info on this? It would be greatly appreciated.

Since UMPI's actual application fee is $0, I would certainly contact them and see if you can at least get some sort of provisional/conditional application going. But I don't know of any US college/university that doesn't expect a HS diploma/transcript in order to be admitted to their degree programs, so you may be out of luck either way.

I've not heard of high school transcripts needing to be evaluated by WES, I don't think this is generally a thing. But I guess I could be wrong.

I've gone to 5 colleges, my husband 4, and none of them required an actual physical/electronic copy of our high school diplomas.  They asked about them, and we put in the dates we graduated and names of the HS's, but that was it.

UMPI told me it’s required due to law when applying for financial aid now. Might be a new thing or different or just how they do it in Maine. She said if I didn’t want to do it I can pay for it myself with no financial aid.

I did not have to submit my high school transcripts, but I have 2 associate degrees. It may have something to do with financial aid. The governments have all kinds of verifications. Some of them are REALLY flipping weird.

I have an issue how can I send my transcript to Waubonsee Community College I already enroll with them I send my acclaim transcript and they send me and email say that I can not send that transcript by my self, and I send that transcript through the acclaim portal and the email they receive is saying im share my acclaim badges.

I got this reply from them:

"We received the email below and wanted to follow up to identify what it is that you are trying to share with us.  We cannot receive any official transcripts directly from the student.  They must come from the institution that issued the credential."

I need get a solution how can I send this then???

This... really isn't the thread for this. However, the solution seems to be to edit the subject for the email. Instead of "Student has shared their transcript with you via Acclaim" change it to "Acclaim transcript for Student". 

Alternately, spend the $5 to send a Sophia transcript through Parchment.

I have A+ and Network+ and Study.com courses and also some sophia courses I will need to email them to send the transcript through them direct.

Did you guys complete your Sophia courses before or after applying to UMPI?

Did you guys complete your Sophia courses before or after applying to UMPI?

It's best to complete any course you're considering BEFORE applying. Once you've been accepted, you need permission from your academic advisor to take courses outside of UMPI and have them transfer to UMPI. I did take a class with permission and the Registrar still said that the class would not count towards my degree. I needed to take one of the courses offered at UMPI to fulfill that requirement. So even with the academic advisor's approval, the Registrar can still reject it.
