Encouraged by UMPI Enrollment Advisor to Enroll

[ss20ts]

Well, I was also encouraged/pushed to apply before I was really aware of the correct order to do things.  I was accepted this week and have not yet sent over any of my Sophia credits.  I checked the box that stated that I was interested in PLA, but no one contacted me about that prior to admission.

I emailed my advisor as soon as they assigned me one and asked her to tell me what I can do about ACE and PLA credits, because no one has yet to contact me about it.  I know from advice here what I need to do for the PLA, but I would think they would have discussed that before finalizing admission.  Anyways, that's a lot of words to say I'll report back here and let you guys know how it goes getting them to accept a LOT of ACE credits after admission.

You won't have an advisor until you're accepted which won't happen until they receive and process all of your transcripts. Once you've been accepted, then you need permission from your advisor to transfer courses into UMPI.

In my experience, YourPace isn't about PLA's. PLA's will take longer than completing the actual course. PLA's are for on campus students. That's the thing with UMPI that many don't understand. There's YourPace which is us folks on here and then the on campus students. The UMPI website is for the on campus students. I wouldn't waste time with PLA's when you can complete the course in a few days to a week. PLA's are more than 1 paper which is what the Final Assessments are.
