Coursera Google Data Analytics is a "non credit certificate" but accepted at UMPI? - FM1 - 12-04-2023

According to the Coursera wiki, the Google Data Analytics Certificate transfers in as: 3 credits for BUS 245 and 6 credits for COS 1XX (business elective). I have just completed the course and it states its a 'non credit certificate' as shown below. Does this mean it can't be transferred in for credits at UMPI?

I've had confirmation from Discord that while the certificates state 'non credit' Credly has assessed to be worth the credits as outlined above and multiple users have verified they have been able to transfer credits into UMPI.

Here is the ACE recommendation page:

It can be worth up to 12 credits. UMPI gives 9 credits for it.

Coursera/Google Certs aren't worth credit by itself and that's why Coursera/Google have that showing, they're partners with ACE which give recommendations of credit towards those courses. So, you need to send everything from Coursera/Google to ACE/Credly to get the badge and credit. Then send your Credly transcript to any institution that accepts ACE and other sources of alternative credit. Voila!

Elective credits can be anything, many colleges/universities will accept any transferable credit into this area as long as the institutions take the credit. Depending on the degree, you may transfer up to 18-21 electives for a BA/BABA, or up to 60-62 for the BAS/BLS at UMPI, other institutions vary from 18-30 and maybe more.
