Contacting the actual admissions office - MikeyJeff - 06-08-2023
Ahoy! Is there any contact information for actual admissions personnel or someone form the school who can answer questions prior to applying? I have a question about admission requirements and have only been referred to the "admission specialists".
Essentially, will sophia/SDC credits be taken as college credit or will I somehow need to get highschool transcripts from the early 2000's to satisfy admission requirements for a Baba YourPace degree?
Thanks

Which concentration would you take?
You may check the wiki for the UMPI BABA degree plan: Search results for "UMPI BABA" - Degree Forum Wiki (miraheze.org)

If you are American, you can get a FREE Pierpont BOG AAS to waive the HS transcript requirement at UMPI. The only cost for the Pierpont degree is the cost of Sophia classes plus a $25 class from Arizona State University Universal Learner. Otherwise, you need your HS transcripts for UMPI.

What form do the transcripts have to take? Is it a mailed copy from my old highschool or can I scan and email in the copy I have?

UMPI requires official transcripts so you can't scan and mail a copy. They have to be sent from the source.

@MikeyJeff, I would just apply with all the information required. Get the High School transcript and while waiting, check the WIKI plans to get as many or close to 90 credits from Sophia.org to the BABA concentration of your choice.
