Great to see a new YourPace program.
I show only 2 courses transferring. Maybe we can find more with Coursera certificates.

Database security should also be transferrable - Computer Science 303 at Study.

There have been CS rumors since 2021. The rumors started before UMPI had the on campus CS program.

This is just in time!
RE: BS in Cybersecurity (YourPace New Program) - bluebooger - 07-21-2026
so you can only transfer 30 credits total from study.com, sophia.org, coursera.org, DANTES ?
the other 90 have to be from RA schools or UMPI itself ?

How the Credit for Prior Learning Process Works
The University of Maine at Presque Isle offers several options through which a student’s previously acquired information and skills could be incorporated into their overall college program. Pertinent documentation is assembled for review by college officials and will be evaluated as quickly as possible, but may take up to several weeks.
1: Students must be matriculated into an Associate or Bachelor’s degree program to be eligible for Credit for Prior Learning. Non-degree students and students enrolled in certificate programs of fewer than 30 credits must receive permission from the Registrar in order to be eligible for Credit for Prior Learning.
2: Students in Associate degree programs may earn a maximum of 15 credits through Credit for Prior Learning. Students in Bachelor’s degree programs may earn a maximum of 30 credits. In other words, the combination of all forms of Credit for Prior Learning cannot exceed a total of 15 credits of an Associate’s degree and 30 credits of a Bachelor’s degree.

No you're reading this incorrectly. Credit For Prior Learning has nothing to do with transfer and ACE credits in regards to how many credits can be transferred. UMPI has a minimum residency of 30 credits (10 courses) to earn a Bachelor's degree. You can transfer as many ACE and credits from prior schools as you want.

" In other words, the combination of all forms of Credit for Prior Learning cannot exceed a total of 15 credits of an Associate’s degree and 30 credits of a Bachelor’s degree."
so what does this mean ?
RE: BS in Cybersecurity (YourPace New Program) - ss20ts - 07-21-2026
Credit for Prior Learning are courses you take at UMPI. You write a boatload and document like a maniac. The actual classes in YourPace are less work. CPL is PLAs.
