Kate Rix (at Higher Ed Dive) Wrote:As president, [Lisa Marsh] Ryerson said she will continue to build out initiatives she began as provost.
One will standardize the credits associated with Southern New Hampshire courses, eventually assigning credits for proven competencies instead of time for all courses. This new “one competency, one credit” framework, Ryerson said, will make it easier for students to get credit for prior learning — even in courses that are not in the competency-based education catalog.
She said she’ll also continue to prioritize workforce development initiatives.
I was finishing up my last few OnlineDegree.com final exams and couldn't download the RPNow proctor.
I emailed customer support and they said to take the final exam by entering the password at the bottom of the exam page of each course! No proctor and no $9 fee! (For now at least!)
This makes OnlineDegree.com completely free! They offer 15 courses with 11 of them offering NCCRS credit (33 credits for free in total).
The following courses can still be taken but no longer offer credit:
- Introduction to Cooking
- Introduction to Psychology
- Education & Literacy
- Introduction to Public Health
This (33) combined with TEEX cybersecurity (13) makes 46 completely free non-proctored credits for TESU!
Hello all!
Thank you for all the help already! I've been able to find out so much information and get a head start with all the former posts on here. Finally posting on here to become an official part of the community and because I finally found a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to...but first the addendum & template....

Starting flight training soon, and will probably have to start a part-time job in a month or so. Dedicated Time to Study: Full-time Timeline: ASAP! Hoping to max out my 90 transfer credits by the end of the year in time to apply for the Spring 1 Term at UMPI and graduate this spring in 1 or 2 terms Tuition Assistance/Reimbursement: N/A
Now that that's taken care of I'll get to my question...
I'll begin by saying that while I'm always graded well on written assignments, I absolutely loathe them and they slow me down tremendously. Trying to finish up my GenEd requirements and I've already scheduled the Intro Sociology CLEP test later this week to avoid the two Touchstones in the Sophia Intro to Sociology course. Now that Sophia's Art History 1 has a Touchstone (which needs corrected on the Simplified GEC wiki btw) I saw on another thread that someone said to just take Art History 2 as it fills the 2E requirement as well. So, the question that I haven't been able to find an answer to is....can I actually do this? Or when I go through the transfer evaluation at UMPI are they going to tell me that I need Art History 1 in order for Art History 2 to count? I've enrolled in Art History 2 at Sophia, so I figure the worst that happens is I'm told "No, you absolutely have to take Art History 1," and Art History 2 will simply fall to an elective. I'm not looking for a "freebie" degree as it unfortunately seems some people are, so I'm willing to do whatever work necessary to achieve this goal and move forward in my life. However, I'm also willing to skip "extra" written assignments/Touchstones if I don't "need" them.
Hopefully that all makes sense, and again thank you for all the help you fine people provide!
Maybe one day I can be cool like you
Edit to add:
FWIW, on Sophia it is noted that Art History 1 is NOT prerequisite for Art History 2
It was extremely outdated so I updated it. Any other information it should include? Should we create additional dedicated pages to some of these graduate programs? Is this wiki page a useful enough resource that it should be a pinned post for people who are new to the graduate forum?

It seemed that for the last several years, you had to comb through the entire episode to find one good skit. All of these from this week's episode seem to be bangers.
Thanks in advance to all who have posted before and those who will respond here. I've learned a lot reading other posts and really appreciate this forum.
I am looking to enroll at UMPI (yourpace) in spring 2025 for a BABA Management & Leadership. I have completed many Sophia courses and plan to complete additional courses there to maximize transfer credits. Will the good people here do me a solid and review what I have, and tell me their advice for a degree plan at UMPI? What else should I take at Sophia or Studydotcom?
