Wasn't one of the big, or almost big, colleges disavowed as a school where you could go fast? I think they had so many applicants they grew too fast, and made the credit transfer process less friendly? I thought it was COSC or UMPI, or maybe another one at their "level". I remember reading there was one people no longer recommended to people trying to accelerate. Within the last year.

Yeah, it was COSC, they've made a bunch of changes over the last few months up to a couple of years ago, limited the number of ACE options as well. Here's a very recent thread, review post #8. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...nning-Help

Ok, yeah. While researching, it also appears NAU PL was discontinued.

I don't think COSC made the changes because they grew too fast, because they actually spent a bunch of money interviewing a bunch of folks who applied but didn't actually enroll. They used a company to do a bunch of focus groups to figure out what made applicants go elsewhere... and then promptly ignored the results. This would imply they actually *are* trying to grow... just aren't interested in doing what the market wants (and what they used to do.)
It's hard to imagine anything other than current administration having their head completely up their ass, because it was once an amazing program with a lot of great options.

UMPI is still going strong and growing. They grow every term.

Hopefully, within the next couple of years or sooner, they revert back to their old way of doing things. Especially, once their enrollment is impacted.
