If you don't have success with the Dean or Jessica for long periods of times, please, do not hesitate to involve the University's President, Raymond Rice. He's very involved in YourPace and wants it to be succesful.Ashkir: Thank you. Yes, I agree. The last thing I ever expected was for my enrollment to get lost by a glitch or someone overlooking my application. I was worried that my degree audit would come back with my old community college credits from the 1990's possibly being rejected, but this mess .... I NEVER expected - and the reaction from the staff is even more confounding. I begged Jessica not to dismiss me, and she has just stopped responding to my emails. I have been professional and not rude in any way, but she and another girl named Shea have just completely dismissed me.
They're having growing pains. But, it shouldn't come at a cost of new students not being able to learn.
I 100% recommend sending a flat email out to the Dean or Jessica saying "I have been waiting for X months, but, my evaluation isn't done. How about I start 2 classes, we know I don't have, while we wait for the evaluation"

Do you mind telling me if she decided to go to another school, or did she wait until the following session at UMPI? .... And did they handle her enrollment well the next time around?
I quit my job so I could attend UMPI full-time, but I can't be unemployed for the next 3 months with nothing accomplished toward my bachelors. I don't know if I should try to go back to work for the next three months and give UMPI the benefit of the doubt, or just move on to another school.
I feel very rejected by UMPI right now.
Actually, I'd kind of recommend it for people in a high stress job and want to accelerate faster now. UMPI's financial aid office as a Financial Judgement. If you "lost" your job, they can modify your EFC to get you the Pell.
Bjcheung recommended to do something similar with the recommendation to allow me to take some classes while my transcript is evaluated. I am hoping the Chancellor calls or emails me back so I can have this discussion with her directly, but after reading about the experience that Cerich67's wife had, I am slowly losing hope. Thanks again for responding.
