For anyone thinking about getting this degree, there are a few things to note:
Pierpont sends you a paper letter. Due to current circumstances, this takes forever. I applied on the 18th of September. It looks like my account was created on the 24th of August. I did not receive a paper letter until the 4th of August and was unable to obtain the letter until today due to the holiday (Labor Day) weekend. I don't fault Pierpont for this at all but actually receiving the letter definitely clears up a few things.
When you first sign in (per instructions in the paper letter), it will ask you to set up account security things. All well and good. The questions are horrible (as usual) but the confusing part is the email verification. If you are using Gmail (and possibly others, I don't know?) you will never get the verification email. But you can skip this step by leaving the box blank and clicking directly on phone verification. Since you cannot verify by email you absolutely must (IMO) add the "optional" phone number so that you'll be able to access your account in the future if it is needed.
The letter will mention a BOG application. This can be found in your Pierpont email. I don't know why you have to fill it out because all this stuff has already been filled out during the online application process but there we go.
