Men Only Want One Thing. And It’s Not Money, Its’ Not Power, It’s Not Love

I am a student at Penn State majoring in Finance, and I'd like to pursue a double major in Economics. For me to be able to do that and still graduate on time, I need to find some transferrable 300 or 400 level (UD) Econ credit. Doesn't have to be a direct course equivalent, it just needs to be at least at the 300 (upper) level. 

Does anybody know of a college/university that offers a good price for online ECON credit that has courses which could potentionally transfer at that 300 level. 

I can basically get any course evaluated before I've taken it relatively fast; I will literally get a shit ton of courses evaluated and then figure out what I I'll take, so if anyone has any ideas lmk. Penn state also has an awesome transfer credit tool so I can check instantly if it has been evaluated before 

I've been searching for weeks and the best thing I've found so far is LSU's Online program, I can take a Money & Banking class for $866, but that's a lot of money and I'd preferably like to pay less then that. If I can find courses around the $500 mark I would be so happy.

Thank you sm ?

Anybody know if any other colleges other than TESU have a credit-by-exam similar to the TECEP exams? Maybe one with a larger course selection? Or even better, if anybody knows of a college that allows you to request an exam to recieve (transferrable) credit for a course.

Hello,

I'm trying my best not to overwhelm Pierpont employees.  I must say when Nancy Parks was in charge of the program, she answered my questions.  I'm frustrated and disappointed that they can't at least post a FAQ or automated response with with a FAQ.

My daughter just finished her last class, we think.   She submitted her transcripts from both ASU two weeks ago and Sophia today.  

ROAR is showing nothing in terms of her credits, however, it is showing a Hold on her account with a balance of $350 but I don't know if I should pay it or not because I don't know if they will accept the last two transcripts and I can't find a way to actually pay the darned bill.

We called Accounts Payable on October 4th but we were told to wait until we have more information.  

Now, we cannot get any information from anyone, at this point.  The registrar won't answer her emails.  The finance person, who was very helpful when I went through this two years, won't call me back.  I can't a payment because it's got a HOLD and now we're in a loop and I'm getting very frustrated. 

She's included Dave Beighly (sorry if there's a misspelling) in the emails and he is not responding, either!!

I know they are overwhelmed but they could save themselves so much time by putting a simple FAQ on their website saying transcripts are accepted through date mm/dd/yy for the December graduating class for the BOG program.

If you can't pay online, contact <whomever> and that person actually returns your call, after you've said you can't pay online due to a hold.

So, yes... I'm ranting!  Sorry!

Anyone know when Pierpont will accept the last transcript?  

Who to contact to see if my kid has enough credits - I think she does but we'd like to know for sure?

How to pay when there's a hold on your account?

If we pay and they won't let her graduate, can we get a refund?


Thank you!

I had my first lab submission and resubmission rejected and I"m extremely pissed off. I've submitted 4 other labs with no issues, all using the camera on my phone. For this one, the first reviewer said he couldn't see my measurements. Okay, I re-setup the lab and took better pictures with more close ups. The second reviewer said it was too blurry "and might not be authentic". WTF.

In no way did either one tell me what I needed to fix in the pictures. I can't resubmit again. I reached out to Straighterline to vent my frustration.

Has anyone else ran into this? Did you figure out a way to solve it? I'm taking all this time to do the labs, and for them to reject it and give me a 0 because I have blurry photos (I can see the readings on the picture!!!) really pisses me off.

Hi all,

My daughter downloaded her transcript from Credly recently and noticed it is showing Environmental Science from Sophia but does show the number of credits or that she passed it.  She finished it 2023.  

When she clicks on the class, it states:  "You have successfully completed the course and the transcript is now certified."

She needs this class to graduate in December. 

Has this happened to you and how did you solve it? 


Thank you!

TLDR: I need encouragment to push through the next nine weeks and get 7 classes completed. 

I'm completing my first term for my degree in Elementary Education at WGU. I already had an associates degree, so I transffered in a lot of credits. My plan was to complete all my regular courses this term, and do all my field experience and studnet teaching next term. I am taking tests on 3 courses tomorrow, and after that I will have completed 9 courses. I have 9 weeks left in my term, and 7 courses.  I know I can do it. Part of the reason it took me so long to get the first nine done was computer issues. I was without a computer for a month. I have been completing most of my courses in a weekend. However, I feel myself getting burned out.  I could really use some encouragment from everyone who is or has been in the trenches. Thank you! 
This forum is what convinced me to go to WGU and I love it!

Hi there,

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and currently have a job. However, I’m interested in Online Master’s degree in either Data Science or Web Development.

I’m particularly drawn to Data Science because of its significant potential for societal impact. However, I’m concerned about my math skills, as I’m not very strong in this area. Are there any online graduate programs in Data Science that start with a strong focus on building foundational math skills?

Additionally, I’m interested in Web Development, but I’ve had difficulty finding graduate programs specifically for this field. Are such programs available?


Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

When did WGU get a BS in Communications and a BS in user Experience? Are they new?

Has anyone taken TECEP exams on a Mac, remotely?

I recently had THE WORST experience with CLEP remote proctoring via their offshore vendor for it, Proctortrack. Which wouldn't even let me use a USB mouse without freezing their system, because their persistent app sniffer running in the background detects a device driver they haven't whitelisted. It's secure, sure. Just completely, pathetically, unusable - on Windows 11; they don't even let you schedule an exam on a Mac never mind take it.

I'm really hoping I do not encounter any Mac OS compatibility issues with Sophia and Study.com as well. Have any fellow Mac users here had any issues with any of these course/exam providers?
