I am in western North Carolina (where there was just a hurricane) and I received this email from WGU yesterday.  It has a list of resources, which really isn't very helpful, but it is really nice that they acknowledged what happened.  Interestingly, WGU and GoFundMe are the only two (non-local) businesses who have sent out an email like this, and I get a lot of emails from a lot of businesses.  Anywho, I just thought this was interesting and nice.

I'm pretty well decided on either TESU or Excelsior. 

Goal is fast track bachelors in liberal studies. I'd like a BS in psych but fastest track = best track and thus far lib studies looks faster. Maybe psych masters after.

Question: which will save more cost overall?:

1. Enroll and admit in one of the above first, then start taking courses from study/sophia (3rd party ed. platforms) etc. to aggregate.
   
2. Just start taking courses, then enroll and admit to transfer in/aggregate when all but "residency" required course/credits are completed.
   

I recently got asked to complete a survey for the ASU 100 million certificate. It asked if I wanted to do in a person interview but I chose to do the online survey. To see motivation. It also asked if they can contact me for more questions. I have been seeing in the news lately that ASU is going through some financial issues and a lot of profs got laid off and they had to completely drop their teacher's program. I wonder if this will have any impact on the price to make the certificate into actual credits. ASU programs are already very expensive.

For those with students in Pierpont Dual Enrollment, the tuition for non-resident increased from $25 per credit to $60 per credit. Still a bargain but less so than in the past.

Good morning. I'm a returning student working Help Desk. I'd like to finish a Software Engineering degree as quickly as possible. WGU seems to be a good option for me. What is the process for applying/transferring credits like?

For example, I have credits from 3 different colleges over time. I want to take as many Sophia/SDC courses as possible. Shall I take all the Sophia/SDC coursework first and then apply to WGU? Can I verify which previous courses will transfer before applying to WGU so that I'm not locked out from transferring new coursework? I'm not sure about the order of these operations. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone! 

I am starting UMPI October 28th and I have all 10 of my classes ready to go. My plan is BAS with the triple minor of PM, MIS, and management.  

My question is:
If I complete 4 classes towards MAOL and what I am reading is only 3 will go towards it, am I then taking one of these classes over again when I get to the MAOL Courses?

Thanks!

With study.com, if you submit all your assignments for a class before your subscription runs out, they will still go ahead and grade them, and then mark the class as complete if you have finished everything else (all the quizzes and the exam, if there was one). 

Will Sophia do that, too? Or do you have to have all your touchstones returned to you first (and if they're not, do you have to renew in order to get the grades and complete the class)?

Hello Everyone,

Are there any Industrial Engineering Degrees Online tat accept these transfer credit types?

So I was approved for graduation in August and told to pay the graduation fee by 10/04. Today when I logged into my ROAR to pay I found out that the option to pay is no longer there and it displays this information
"Select the transcript level and transcript type.
Your transcript is not available due to holds on your record."
 when I click on Holds, it is showing me this
