I think he's done 6 or 7 courses already this term and there's still 4 weeks left. I would go any route that the company pays for! I'd send in that transcript with Environmental Science and let them know it's coming so it will be evaluated quickly. To me you look good to go and start on March 15th which is when the next term starts. I wouldn't worry about taking any classes anywhere else. Everything you need is offered by UMPI and in many cases is significantly less work and faster. We only have one paper/project to do for the whole class.

I think you're in great shape for UMPI. Right now you have 14 courses remaining. ENV 110 came in from Sophia for me. I'd definitely ask Jessica or Shea about that. So this would have you at 13.

UMPI is exactly like Sophia's format. With your 13 courses remaining (if they take your ENV) you'd probably have like 8 essays, and 1 Powerpoint, and 3 Q&A exams. A lot of their quizzes test your knowledge. They also have a bill your employer thing at their financial aid office where they'd send the invoice to your employer instead.

I’ve attached my 3 evaluations and a list of the ACE courses I have on my transcript. I just need a little kick towards a decision haha.

I’m set on a Business Administration degree because of my current job. I have education reimbursement up to about $5k a year. I’d like to finish up my degree by the end of this year.

TESU - I’d most likely try and get a couple more courses through Davar in before the March 1st cutoff. I’d be paying for them out of pocket and would pay the waiver which is not ideal but I don’t want to have that many drawn out courses through TESU.

SNHU - Can I say out of the million evals I had done (yes I had more than these 3) this format was the easiest to read. If I take 2 courses a term I could possibly be done with my 10 courses this year. I would have to pay out of pocket a bit doing it this way. I do love that they have differed tuition and can wait till my tuition reimbursement kicks in and wouldn’t need to pay anything upfront.

UMPI - I’m really close to pulling the trigger for UMPI. I love the idea of going at my own pace. From my evaluation I have 14 courses to go with them. I do have a couple courses (including Sophia Environmental Science) that didn’t make it on my original transcript that I just sent over to see if they would come in as anything. Could someone take a look to see if I have anything else that would satisfy any of the remaining courses I have left?
