Advisor Question

Calculations seem to be correct, get the gen eds from Sophia.org and register for the classes you need for residency purposes...

I got an email back this morning with my degree plan progress in a different format which actually was easier to understand. 

Here's a link to the degree plan progress I received from Chelsey this morning:

PLEASE NOTE: At the top, she has 
Number of Courses Remaining: 6 Major + 8 Electives = 14 Total Courses Remaining
But at the bottom under the History Concentration: 48 hours, I have completed all but 3 courses in UL requirements plus I will need another courses to satisfy the residency requirements of 4 UL in my major at UMPI. So, to me that is 4 UL History courses needed to complete the History Concentration & Residency Requirements for my major. Then I would need 6 electives after transferring 12 credits from Sophia for the Gen Ed and one elective.

Here's the email I sent her in response:


      "I have taken the following courses through Sophia. I am finishing the last two this week. When the time is appropriate, I will transfer those to UMPI. 

      2D ART 108 - Visual Communications at Sophia
      3A MAT 101 - Intro to College Math at Sophia
      3D ENV 110 - Chemistry
      Gen Elective - Conflict Resolution at Sophia

      12 credits/4 courses transferred from Sophia

      Courses remaining per attachment:

      History Courses for major needed 4 courses/12 credits (9 UL credits) and the courses at UMPI I would like to take to satisfy the requirements: 
      UL HIstory (United States) HTY 489
      UL History (Non-Western) HTY 370 ARAB
      UL History (Pre Modern) HTY 301 
      History Course HTY 456

      *Please verify these courses will satisfy the requirements.* 
       ***I calculate 4 remaining courses for my History Major to satisfy the requirements. Your calculations per the attachment is 6 courses. Please clarify this discrepancy. If I need to take 6, that is fine. But I just don't see how that is the case.***

      General Electives needed:
      18 credits/6 courses 
      I will decide on these courses at a later date. I would like to start with the History courses needed."


I'm waiting on her response. I also requested to schedule a call for tomorrow. As far as my progress in Sophia, I finished Visual Communications and Intro to College Math this weekend and I'm currently working on Chemistry. I have finished the first module. Then I will do Conflict Resolution. That is all I will need to take there. 

Let me know your thoughts and if I miscalculated somehow. 

I would love suggestions for easy Gen Electives to complete, too. My goal is to finish all 10 courses in Spring 2. I have Spring Break the first week of the UMPI Spring 2 term and will be working on my UL History Courses around the clock for those 9 days. I'm a permanent substitute at a high school and I have down time a lot of days when I can work on my courses. I know it will be challenging to finish in one term. My principal wants to hire me as a teacher for next school year and I will need my degree by August in order to be hired. This is the reason for the urgency. 

Thanks for all your help. I am SO GLAD you suggested I look into UMPI!
