Very confused about GEC PLS need advice

[ktll]

Oh sh*t! So the Critical Thinking course (which would've transferred as HUM 103 at UMPI) that I was going to finish today on Sophia is for nothing?!   pffff. Gonna find another course without touchstones then.

We don't know if it is still accepted. UMPI no longer offers HUM103 so there's question as to whether or not it's still accepted for the GEC.

I see... I'll just do something else and not waste my time on a course that might not be accepted anymore. I wanted to get my 90 credits before the end of this month, and I'm only at 48, so I'm doing my best not to waste any more time.

@ktll, continue with Sophia.org until you're at the 90 credit mark for transfer credits, then start the UMPI program.

Please help me , I thought I am fine as long as I have done 40 credits. 
Thanks 

I'm not sure what your numbers relate to as the GEC is 1-5 with letters at the end. 

No, you're not done as long as you have 40 credits. You need a minimum of 40 credits and to complete every single area of the GEC. This should all be on your degree evaluation form from Jessica from your first session. 

HUM103 is no longer offer by UMPI that may be why you have to take a course for that area of the GEC. Do you have a spreadsheet for your courses or the form from Jessica? 

MAT140 is a required course for the BABA degrees. Your other option is taking Calc 1 on Sophia. MAT140 at UMPI is MUCH easier.

Just an fyi for anyone reading this, calc 1 sophia does not cover bus math.

I've been doubting that it does, so I'm not surprised.

Calculus I at Sophia isn't supposed to cover MAT 140 Business Math at UMPI. It is equivalent to MAT 131 Calculus I at UMPI. The BABA degree's require either MAT 140 Business Math or MAT 131 Calculus I. Therefore, Sophia Calculus I does cover the BABA Math requirement and the GEC Math at the same time in one shot.

[bjcheung77]

Don't waste time on extra courses, skip the Calculus, I would recommend getting the GEC done entirely through Sophia.org, you can add the extra courses for 'electives or fluff' after your degree is complete or almost there...

I asked Jessica Do you still accept Critical Thinking & Analysis from study.com as HUM 103?
She said Yes

Will HUM103 still be acceptable for the GEC? You may be allowed because you started before the change to Brightspace and you transferred it in awhile ago. 

There have been several people on Discord that said the Sophia version didn't transfer in for the GEC. So it seems to be in some sort of transition. It's kind of confusing!
