The link I provided from their website says what they accept and how it transfers in.
From one of sanatone's links:
Quote:[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends credit for formal courses or examinations offered by various organizations. University of Massachusetts Global accepts ACE recommendations for awarding academic credit. The recommendation is inclusive of level and discipline, subject to residency requirements and other limitations as set forth in specific degree programs. For the latest information on courses that have been evaluated, click on the recommendations link below or contact the UMass Global Admissions department. *Note, courses may have been updated since listing.[/color]
The "link below" leads to the ACE National Guide. I.E., every ACE provider.

Yeah I already covered the ACE credits up above. Their list is outdated as some of the providers don't even exist anymore.
Here are the ACE courses accepted:

Kind of seems outdated. Nothing from Sophia or Study.com.
Your link is for the Alternative Credit Project, which is defunct. That shouldn't be confused with UMass Global's general policy on accepting ACE recommendations. The Alternative Credit Project only involved certain courses offered by certain course providers. UMass Global's acceptance of ACE credits is not limited to the Alternative Credit Project, which has its on entry on the ACE National Guide.

Yes, the link is on their website because they haven't removed it. All of the approvals through the Alternative Credit Project Ecosystem have expired. If someone took a course through ACP before the expiration date, those courses can still be accepted. Approval through ACP was separate from standard ACE evaluations.
The ACP list will not be updated because the project is inactive. UMass Global will accept other transfer courses based on current ACE recommendations.

I know some people have said the math courses are too expensive
https://westcottcourses.com/courses.html
but I don't think Calculus 3 or linear algebra are outrageous -- a little pricey, but not outrageous
especially considering they're not semester based

Hopefully this means they'll decrease some of their prices to grow faster.

I recognize that UMass-Amherst is not the same entity as UMass Global, but they don't seem too interested in dropping costs
