If anyone else is enrolling because of our reviews and experiences on DegreeForum I'd recommend shooting Jessica an email telling her how you found UMPI. They're targeting marketing ads to try and grow YourPace and I think it'd be good for them to know that you're coming from DegreeForum because of posts from other students. They know me by my nickname there, Nicky.

All this time I've been pronouncing it as you-em-pee-eye. Apparently 'umpey' is acceptable? Lol.
Congrats. Although your journey may not be directly applicable for others, I think what your experience really demonstrates is the value of a school willing to adapt to individual circumstances. Universities which treat their students like proper humans, instead of just numbers and criteria in a course schedule, are few and far between.

Congratulations!
I'm fairly certain I'll be pursuing UMPI thanks to the info you've shared, and seeing this is making me feel even more excited about that prospect.
Hopefully you'll get to go to graduation in person for your Masters.

You took pretty much every single Sophia course, you overcame obstacles on certain UMPI courses, and yet still were able to finish your degree at a record pace.
The work you did also is going to help a lot of other people get a degree.
You have been an inspiration to a lot of people here. GL on the master's degree.
