Age requirement for Your Pace is it 20 or 24? - acethroughcollege - 11-21-2021
I saw this on their website
"Participants should be 24 or older, have the equivalent of a high school diploma, and some prior college credit and/or work experience."

You need to have 2 years work experience. That seems to be what they really go with. I believe there have been people on here under 24 who attended UMPI.

I'm pretty sure that there have been students aged 20-22 who have already applied to UMPI and who have either already finished their YourPace degree or who are in the process of finishing it.

I can't tell you that. That's a question for the YourPace Admissions person. How old are you?

I wouldn't worry about the age, being 19 is great, you're starting off... since you can't apply until you're 20 and 2 years out of high school, I would just focus on taking CLEP/Modernstates.org exams and/or Sophia.org courses that can transfer into a Bachelors at UMPI (if that's your desired school).
There is no need to rush, find some courses that interest you and take them first... You may want to take the courses in this wiki page that shows you what courses should transfer from Sophia.org into UMPI (and other schools), take the ones that fit into a degree of your choice: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sophia.org_Equivalency_List

YourPace is 20 years old. Don't worry about work history they do not ask you to verify it.
Do not trust anything on catalog.umpi.edu only trust online.umpi.edu. Many of their 2-3 year old info is on the old website and are pages that don't get updated.
