Hi everyone,
I am enrolled for fall term 1 but wanted to drop and start from fall term 2. There's no clear refund date on the calendar, is September 10 ("Last Day to Drop a Class/University") the one?
I have already emailed my success coach about my intention to drop but I'm worried if I should continue going through my courses in case there's no refund?

I decided to go for it and try for the BOG associates before it was discontinued. I had 38 credts to start. Verified the 1 credit courses are offered on JSU and ASU's websites and applied for both. Figured one of them would have to reach pierpont in time. Completed 23 credits in 2.5 weeks on Sophia to hit my 60 credits. Applied to Pierpont and sent my Sophia transcripts thru Credly. Activated my Asurite ID last week- they had tech problems but I finally received access to register for classes today. Went to enroll in the 1 credit course and it is no longer available.  
I checked again to be sure it is advertised on the website. It sure is! So I chat with tech support who said "Yeah, they took it down awhile ago. But have not informed us why it was removed". He also informed me that there are no other 1-2 credit courses that are self paced or cost $25 +$0 at this time. Said he will escalate the issue to tech support and see if they can enroll me. So it is a waiting game for me. JSU had not admitted me as of yet.


Does anyone know of any other courses that are quick and not too expensive that I could knock out quickly? I was excited for the ASU course since I have already completed the Coursera cert and knew I could get through it really fast.

Thank you,
Danielle

Hello I was informed that you guys are more experienced and could help me plan graduating faster(preferably 12 months). I have basic knowledge , I understand I need to find a highly accredited CBE according to my degree/pursuing career, find their requirements and test out, find one that offers pay per term to keep costs low and find scholarships and government grants to pay for everything minus the taxes.
How did I do? Would you guys be able to help me be more specific for my degree? I'll put the info Below


Pursuing Finance Bachelors degree, then Masters in Financial Engineering to get hired as a quant trader.
Completed 1.5 years at Texas State University (Finance)and dropped out 2013.

-Anybody know what or which CBE schools I should go for that do pay by term? Also I'm looking at doing this part time so I'm not sure pay by term is best. But I have low income and only make about $500 profit per month.

-How can I find scholarships that will pay for the lower costing school, a course im looking at said its easy since pay by term is lower costing, I also may qualify for government grants since I most likely qualify as low income. How can I find these as well?


If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it! And let me know how I can give back and help you as well please ! Thanks again for the help!


P.S. the course I was looking at is degreehackingacademy.com , I have a scheduled consultation with them but I'm pretty sure they will be expensive according to my wallet.

I was too involved in writing in Spanish that I forgot to add my name and date on the composition.
Will it get rejected? Or just points taken off?
Anyone who forgot their name/date on the touchstone still get graded? Thanks

Degree Hack & Ladder Revised: From Starter Lane To Finish Line

What is a degree hack & ladder? An alternative method to get college credit through a balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience. Using the same method, you can arrange (stack or stagger) these credentials to a higher level.

TLDR: Accumulate credentials from credits to Bachelors degree and beyond... By following the steps below, you'll be able to accelerate and compact your education.  An example, a 4-5 month associates & bachelors... You read that correctly, you need to max your transfer credit with a Sophia.org/Study.com combo, by transferring a max of 90+ credits into your 120+ credit degree.

The Basics - How to get from 0 to 90+ fast! Decide on a degree and institution
1) Invest in a second monitor for multi-tasking and reviewing material
2) Complete 90+ with the Sophia.org/Study.com combo as transfer credit

I recommend Sophia.org and Study.com combo - Primarily Lower Level ACE credits, check for a discount coupon on their webpage. 
Sophia.org website may have a code for new users or on this forum sticky thread, there may be code for returning students as well.

Study.com Offer Link: https://bit.ly/3RTJ3I9 - Primarily for Upper Level and lower level courses not offered by Sophia.org
Note: College Starter is $95/month - 2 lower level classes at a time, College Saver is $235/month - 3 classes at a time (I recommend upper level).

Degree Planning - Review the institutions for degree plans already in place using a max of Sophia & Study.com or other ACE/NCCRS partners, such as Saylor.org or StraighterLine, etc.  Institutions Link: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ca...stitutions  Competency Based: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Co...d_Programs

By completing 90+ credits through these two providers, you can transfer these to recommended institutions that will accept alternative credit.  We know of institutions that will accept up to 113 (Excelsior requires 7 credits residency) and 114 (TESU requires just 6 credits residency).  Most others such as UMPI will take in 90 credits, but their Competency Based degrees may come cheaper, easier, faster, if you can complete the required work in two sessions.

Please take some time to review posts, threads, and my signature links, as it has the Basic Approach, Degree Plans, WIKI, and the link to the Addendum and Template where you should follow before you create a thread asking for help in degree planning advice.

Volunteers are here to provide advice, please provide as much info asked for in the addendum and template when you create a new thread.  Senior members and moderators can advise the trifecta of cheap, easy, fast and try to add extra ROI/Value and personalize your education.

hello I'm currently in the process of completing my Sophia learning courses, tonight I will be finished with my general education courses and have already done my graded asu course, should I start emailing pierpont my transcripts for the classes I've already completed or should I wait until I'm 100% done keep in mind I'm aware of the oct 4th deadline and want to optimize all time to avoid any problems. 

if you could also list the email address or places I need to send my transcripts to that would be very helpful thank you.

I just came upon Morgan State University's College of Interdisciplinary & Continuing Studies, which offers MS and PhD completion programs (basically allow for many transfer credits). They offer distance learning and at a low tuition rate of $473/credit. It doesnt say if they are fully online, but courses are online.

For an MS, you can transfer 12 credits out of 30 and for a PhD you can transfer 18 out of 36. One can get an RA MS or PhD for under $10k!

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone on here has experience with the Tempo Learning program at Walden University. I am considering continuing on to my Master's right after completing my BLS at UMPI this fall. 

I have some Post-9/11 GI Bill to use up and I get 20% discount at Walden through my employer. I am also open to other programs, but prefer a competency based program, and Walden seems to be the only place that has competency-based CJ.

Thanks!

Just a quick query if anyone has managed to transfer in to UMPI with a high school diploma waiver recently, particulary with alternative credits?

I seem to be have hit a brick wall on the issue, which is very disappointing.

Well I tried to transfer my ENEB MBA+ Master of Management and Team Management to UoPeople using my IEE reviewed graduate credits.

Even though they will accept up to 50% transfer credit into the grad programs, UoPeople only gave me credit for the 3 elective courses (out of 12 courses) towards their MBA program. Not that great of a deal really.
