UL mostly IS SDC my best choice? - Caecal07 - 05-10-2022
After following all the information and making a spreadsheet it makes sense for me to pick up a few things before I apply to go back!!! University of Maine Augusta does accept ACE credits no NCCRS. CAN also do PLA! I already met residency taking random classes while not a student there to get some state certifications!

Need Soc 201 social problems
Need PSY 308 Human Development
Need Eng 317 professional writing
Also an UL humanities elective of choice

You have to check with the U of M Augusta what they will accept from Study for your degree program.

The website says they use the ACE guidelines so if ACE accepts it I can use it! Do you know if there's a way to see UMPI your pace course offerings?

Accepting ACE credits does not mean that a school accepts all ACE credits. Even UMPI has limitations on ACE credits and they're VERY generous. U of M Augusta is not UMPI and has their own policies. The other U of M campuses do not accept ACE credit like UMPI. I've looked at their transfer credits in the transfer database and there are few ACE credits listed at the other campuses.
There is not a list of courses offered through YourPace. You can look at each degree offered and see what courses they have. That's the only way to see what is available. There are GEC courses also available through YourPace but they are not listed on the YourPace website.
ETA: I just looked at the transfer database at U of M Augusta and they do not have Study.com listed which means to date no one has transferred in courses from them.

Where do I find this transfer database?

In your MaineStreet account. You'll see on the lefthand side where the list of options is and there's a line that says transfer course equivalencies.

In addition to that, you may want to review this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Official-Transfer-Course-Equivalencies
I also searched the database and was able to find that UMA shows they accept only a handful of StraighterLine courses, I don't see Sophia.org/Study.com
Another option is to see if UMA will take UMPI YourPace courses, I would compare each YourPace Minor offering and see if there are courses that can be used.

There's also program-specific transfer guides for people transferring within the University of Maine System: https://www.maine.edu/students/transfer-guides/

Thanks I decided that I need to decide the long term plan... I'm going to finish my current certificate then try using it and regroup.
