UoPeople going for regional accreditation

They should become like RA version study.com, sophia.org so students can freely take their courses and transfer credits to other RA institutions.
Also, they should reduce their tuition to $99 a month or lower.

"Modular" is a nice idea for people like us, but for UoPeople, going in that direction would be inconsistent with their purpose.

I also think it would create a mess in terms of the peer grading system, which already has issues. Peer grading can be disastrous in the early courses because too many students don't follow directions/have no idea what they're doing. Profs, who are volunteers, have to spend too much time cleaning it up. Those students either drop out or become better peer graders as they continue in the program. If people could just drop in for one or two courses, bad peer grading would be rampant in all classes.

Tuition is already lower than $99/month for undergrad. One course=8-9 weeks=$120.
