last minute Pierpont advice to graduate in December

[any4yeardegree]

Hi All,

My adult kiddo applied to Pierpont before the October 2024 deadline and received a letter of acceptance a few weeks ago.  We've logged into her account but there is no ROAR link.

To try to not overload Dave or the registrar, any advice is appreciated.  It looks she needs one more 3 credits to graduate.  Can you offer a suggestion?

SOPHIA TRANSCRIPT is showing the credits listed below.

Any credits for this? I think I saw Pierpont does not give credit for this class however, it'd be nice confirm it. There are 3 credits of the Credly transcript, though I know that is meaningless when it comes to what a specific college/uni will accept.

Foundations of College Algebra (CA0050).


GEN ED Requirements:
1. Visual Communications (VISCOMM1001 - 2019), 3 credits

2. College Algebra (CA1001 - 2019),  3 credits
3. Human Biology (HumBio1001), 3 credits

4. U.S. History II (HIST1002), 3 credits

5. Introduction to Information Technology (CS1001), 3 credits

15 GEN ED credits


ELECTIVES:  
6. Introduction to Web Development (CS1005 - 2020), 3 credits
7. Introduction to Ethics (PHIL1002), 3 credits
8. Introduction to Statistics (STAT1001 - 2018), 3 credits
9. Art History I (ARTHIST1001 - 2021), 3 credits
10. Introduction to Relational Databases (CS1011 - 2021), 3 credits
11. Ancient Greek Philosophers (PHIL1001 - 2021), 3 credits
11. Introduction to Networking (CS1015), 3 credits
12. Google IT Support Professional Certificate, 15 credits
13. Environmental Science (ENVS1001 - 2021), * it should show 3 credits but appears to be truncated on the last page of the transcript* - strange!


14. The Essentials of Managing Conflict (CONRES1000 - 2020), 1 credit
15. IT Career Exploration (CS1003), 1 credit

41 ELECTIVE credits


RA CREDIT:
16.  ASU CIS-194 Business Technology Fundamentals, 1 credit (pending credit on transcript)

1 RA CREDIT

Total credits 57, so far.


Questions:
Has anyone had any of these credits denied by Pierpont?

Can you suggestion a quick Sophia class without Touchstones that can be done in a few day or week?  I know quickly is subjective, but she'll have to decide to which option she can focus on an get through this week.


Thank you!

Microbiology is a quick course that doesn't have touchstones. I don't know what it transfers into because I graduated before completing that class. Environmental science is worth 3 credits at Pierpont.

I also felt the Lifespan development course to be quick, don't know what it will transfer into. Most likely both will be 1999 Free elective credits because that's how most of my Sophia credits transferred into.

Macroeconomics is much easier than Microeconomics and could be done in a few hours. If she can do more courses quickly, she could surpass the minimum 60 credits. My transcript has 99 credits in it, most of them from Sophia but also some Saylor courses as well.

Question for you - Did you apply for graduation before October 4? If so, continue onward towards the degree requirements, if not, continue onwards anyways and put more focus on the Bachelors requirements as well. If, for some reason they're not taking one or more of your classes, you can take the Sophia.org classes in CS/IT to get the emphasis you're looking for or another emphasis, in other words, please make sure to take more than the 60 credits and have a few extra credits that can be used towards a Bachelors...

Thanks, BJ.  She did apply before for graduation before the October 4th deadline.  

I think she's taken all the CIS class from Sophia but we'll check again to be sure.

Mostly looking for classes with 3 credits and only milestones - no touchstones, since the can take a long time to grade.
