Transferring Courses in after acceptance - Armadillo1 - 12-31-2024
While I still haven't officially decided on UMPI, I applied and was approved and submitted all my transcripts prior to completing all the known transferrable courses, not realizing I should have waited. How difficult would it be to still take those course at Sophia/SDC to transfer them in.
I know I still need the following:
Spanish I - Sophia
Human Bio Lab - Sophia
Environmental Science - Sophia
Intro to Ethics/Ancient Greek Philosophers - Sophia
potentially a few other transferrable courses for picking up a minor for the fun of it.
I also have a handful of courses that have already been completed, but not on the transcripts that I sent; Straigherline, SDC and a few random ACE courses from other providers where it's taking forever to get added to my credly account.

It’s not difficult at all. You would simply send in your Credly transcript. I’d suggest sending it in once you’ve completed what’s remaining, rather than after each class. It takes a few weeks for them to be processed.

By viewing your previous thread, you're going for the BACJ. You may want to check the WIKI for general education requirements you're missing and the degree plan for BACJ as well. Here's a post reply you may want to review in regards to transfers: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-BA-Psych-and-BA-minor?pid=433284#pid433284

Yea it's a few of the GEC's I'm missing. I wanted my transcripts evaluated because there's a few courses that may or may not transfer into certain requirements, and I wanted to see what they do transfer in as. If it shouldn't be an issue to transfer those credits after the evaluation, then I feel much better. I know what I need and where I need it from. UMPI just has different GEC requirements than other places that I've been working toward a degree at previously. And depending on how things are evaluated, I may need to take some of the GEC requirements at the school to get residency requirement.

Once you're enrolled, you're supposed to contact your academic advisor for approval to transfer in additional courses. I haven't seen anyone say they were refused so don't stress over it. GEC/gen eds are different at every college.
Do you already have a bio class without the lab?

Yes, Sophia's - Human Biology, I just didn't do the lab at the time I took it.

No, don't take general education, electives, or transferable major/core classes at UMPI. It's best to take classes that can't be transferred into the program. The language classes I recall are lengthy, you can't do just the lab, etc... These will cause delays and may force you into another session, thus, more cost, energy, time! Max the transfers and complete the non-transferable classes, you can add a minor or take the 3-4 classes that go towards the MAOL if you can't decide on what classes you want to take.
Transfer Evaluation question - Armadillo1 - 01-17-2025
I applied and was admitted in December, I keep checking in on on the transfer credit evaluation. I saw in late December one CLEP credit was evaluated, then 2 weeks later the vast majority of other credit was evaluated, I'm still missing 2 CLEP credits for evaluation that should have been on the first transcript that was looked at, and they're important ones English and American Gov. It's been a week and no further updates on the evaluation. I still don't have an Advisor listed on Main Street. Are they done with the evaluation? I don't even know who to reach out to ask about the missing credits, I can't find an email address. I also did send in 2 other transcripts a week ago with the Sophia credits I had taken since I applied. Just looking for advice on what I should do next if anything. I'm supposed to start Spring II in March.
