Taking more classes than required for degree

[RiverM]

Are you receiving financial aid? I ask because there's a limit to how many credits you can complete with financial aid and not graduate. Degree conferral is not automatic. You have to apply for graduation. UMPI no longer limits minors to 3. There's someone on Discord who is completing their 4th minor right now.

Even if they want you to apply once you've completed all the courses for your major/minors, you should be able to get close and then change to a different major or minor so that you can continue to accrue credits.

Then you'd have to take the courses required for that major. And they may not be what the OP is looking to take.

I believe I'll be making too much money for financial aid. Plan was just to pay out of pocket since it's relatively affordable with UMPI and I've been setting money aside.

Basically, if you have more credits than the requirements to graduate, those extra credits that don't go into the degree will be placed into the transcript as other credits. Many people have more than the 120+ credits, you should at least have the 60 graded credits, if you need to offset your previous GPA, you should take more than the 60, and/or retake the classes that have a grade of C or lower at the institution you have that from. You may want to request all the RA credits to be used for your degree, and move all the ACE credits into the other field below your degree, if at all possible.

Thanks for this advice. That's kind of my plan. I'm not sure how LSAC actually calculates the GPA, I'd imagine it would be everything on the transcript from prior to the first bachelors, but this is a really good point. I'll have to do some more research here!
