I graduated high school last May 2020 and by the start of the next semester at UMPI I will have completed 90+ hours. I also have two years work experience. I feel like it downright discriminatory to not allow me to enroll because of my age. If I have to take 30 hours from UMPI and I have 90 transfer hours I cannot believe there is not an exception that exists that allows senior transfer students to complete the program. I personally advise anyone in a similar situation to beware of this university as they will discriminate against you as an applicant based on your age and work history. Must be a Maine thing....
I commented the other thread but they have policies. All colleges have policies. You'll find similar policies at the Big 3 and WGU. At your age, you're considered an on campus student and that's what schools want. The UMPI program is specifically designed for working adults. By adults they mean over college age. It's not discrimination nor is it a Maine thing. It's a college thing.
Show me a similar policy at Excelsior at TESU. Age discrimination is not a college thing its an UMPI thing. Keep on Shillin Fanboy.
You can stop being a rude jerk anytime. I am not a fanboy. I'm not male for starters. Your immaturity and age are showing. Unlike some people I actually got into the school.
