If you maximize your transfers, verbalize your desire to accelerate, and spend a couple hours planning, it can be done. No not everyone is in a rush, however, I imagine the whole point of transferring so much credit and "attending" a competency based program such as UMPI is because folks don't have lots of money to pay for 2 or 3 terms. Even paying for one term is tough for some. I should actually reframe the situation for OP... if she/he plans carefully, and they have the time or made the time (which is part of planning), then he/she will move through the courses faster than they think. Keeping in mind, of course, that everyone writes at a different pace.
Great so she finished in 2 weeks. Do you want a medal or a chest to pin it on? Whether she spent 2 weeks or 8 weeks, she still paid the same amount in tuition. It's extremely unrealistic for anyone to think that they will be able to complete 10 courses in 14 days. The timing on grading the Milestones alone is often 3 days and sometimes longer. UMPI has a lot of new staff and they are not as accepting of having a lot of courses open at once. Jessica is no longer an academic advisor and this has changed quite a bit of things this term.
