The classes are straightforward, get through the quizzes, milestones, and finish summative assessment (a paper, project, or test). It took almost 1.5 months to get my evaluation as it's summer term and staffing is reduced. I applied at the beginning of June and was approved on the 17th. 1400$ is really affordable. It's equivalent to like 1 class at TESU. You'd like it if writing is your strong suit and can finish your degree quickly. Highly recommend taking Eng Comp I & II at UMPI, it was super fast. However, I personally think the requirements are a bit too much, I wish they have the non-concentration BLS like TESU. I've finished 3 classes so far but it's going to take me a while to finish my degree because I'm really bad at writing, especially when upper-level finals demand more time and effort. I have 2 Associate degrees and took a bunch of classes on Sophia (23 classes, the ones without writing assignments) but I'm nowhere near the finish line (which would cost more than TESU in the end). So I've decided to go with TESU instead (which I'm almost done with except for cornerstone and capstone). I wonder if it is going to be a problem transferring my credits to TESU as @ss20ts mentions the courses are designed to finish the degree internally at UMPI. Overall, UMPI is a great experience and how college should be for a lot of people. YOU CAN FINISH YOUR DEGREE!! This forum is a beautiful hidden gem and I'm thankful that I found it and grateful for its members. I wish I'd have found it sooner.

UMPI classes are RA credit. It's up to other schools if they accept the courses. The courses all have to fit into your degree program no matter where they come from. YourPace is designed to complete your degree at UMPI. This is true of pretty much every B&M college.
