Typically, with microdentials, you don't just receive a digital badge but also a digital certificate (a paper stating that you have completed the program of study).

Just wanted to give you all some advice if you're planning on doing the Google PM cert for transfer credit at UMPI. It's supposed to transfer in as 9 credits: 3 in BUS400, 3 in BUS3XX and 3 in BUS1XX, however there has been an issue with it transferring in lately because Coursera isn't issuing the ACE credit badge.

As another poster mentioned in another thread, there was a problem with transferring it in, and it's an issue in Coursera's system. I just ran the gauntlet of getting passed around to a bunch of different people trying to solve this issue. So here's the process to get it corrected:

1. Once you complete the Cert and Coursera tells you to claim your badge, go claim it on your Credly account.

2. Ensure that the Google PM Cert Badge is on "make badge public" (otherwise it won't show on your transcript).

3. Request a copy of the transcript (free) and check to see if the Google PM Cert has an endorsement for ACE credits (not just the FIBAA one) -- If it has the ACE badge, you are good to send the transcript off to UMPI.

4. If your Credly transcript only shows the FIBAA endorsement, you have to open a help ticket with Coursera (Not Credly, like UMPI suggests you do). Easiest way to go about this is open chat, get through the chatbot and explain that you are missing the ACE badge. You will be connected to a live person and they will have to escalate it up to have someone manually issue the badge.

5. Wait for Coursera to email you, notifying you that the issue will be resolved (They will say within minutes but it can be a few hours to a few days).

6. Patiently wait 24-48 hours for Coursera to issue the badge, and you will receive an email telling you that you have a badge to claim. (Do not bug Coursera like I did, it will just create additional tickets that get annoying)

8. Go back to Credly and claim the new badge.

9. Repeat steps 2 and 3, and your problem should be fixed.

Hope all of that helps!

I know some people are aware of this and I've held off on making this post but I realized that there must be a lot of people applying and/or already enrolled, who weren't aware of the discounts Sophia Learning students can get. I am aware that Study.com has some scholarships as well but Sophia Learning's scholarships rolled out this year.

Has anyone taken Texas Government - GOVT 2306 - at a school other than TAMUC? I applied for a self-paced course at Central Texas College and am just wondering how long it takes. I have vacations and such I need to be able to schedule around. I will be taking the Fall 2 semester off to go on vacation and I'm looking at the CTC dates to try and work it in. Thanks!

In other news, I have struggled getting interviews for jobs I was more than qualified for, like many of you have. I went ahead and updated my resume with an Education section, where I listed my upcoming bachelor's with an expected Spring 2025 completion. I got interviewed and hired for a dream job within three weeks. So, you may go ahead and try it yourself if you have jobs you want to apply for! You know, a resume only has one job - to get you that interview!

Hi everyone,

I am 22 credits shy of graduating from UMPI, and I plan on getting my MBA over at HAU!

Does anyone know if HAU is still offering the MBA for $3K? I was reading on the website that it was only a limited time thing?

Thank you!
