It's not something they're allowing for everyone. If they've told you you can get it, the requirements are (IMO) actually easier than the BAS. But they're both good degrees, if that's the kind of degree that would be useful for you.
Oh I was unaware that it was something that you needed permission for. I thought that if you held an AAS, you were eligible and just needed to ask. My mistake. I guess I would need to talk to them when I apply and enroll in a few months, once I am done with the few classes I'm taking with Study.
I agree with rachel83az - the BAS doesnt appear to be a stated Your Pace option; though it may be considered on a case by case basis. I started at UMPI in March of 2022 in YourPace, while completing the BOG AAS at Pierpont in March, then receiving the diploma and transcript in May. In July, during my 2nd session of Your Pace I noticed the UMPI BAS info while poking around on their website, or maybe it was here on degreeforum, I then went back into the Pierpont and Credly systems to export the Pierpont transcript out to UMPI, then asked for a credit re-evaluation noting the AAS. I got the update that I could do either the BAS or the BABA (which i was already working on ) but I could not double major in both-as an FYI . i simply wanted the option of the BAS since at that time i wasn't up to speed fully on how UMPI worked and wanted a Plan B in case i wasnt able to complete all the requirements for the BABA. Fast forward to today, and have gotten into a good groove of the UMPI courses, especially the courses with the written milestones and term papers, so am accelerating during the holidays and just put in the official application at UMPI for the May graduation. If i complete everything early I might just go right into the MAOL.
I wish you well!
