Hello, I was on track to finish my WGU degree, but at this point I am enrolled and struggling due to the proctored exams and the math classes I have to keep taking. I asked to switch degree programs in hopes that they may rexamine my transfer credits (I hear this is a workaround) but I'm also considering just moving on completely. I can write papers all day everyday which is why I considered UMPI but, I would need to finish by May of 2025 and the earliest start date is March, but I may consider it if it's possible to finish in 2 months. SNHU doesn't really offer acceleration either since its 2 courses per term and if the max they allow is 90 credits, then I'd only be done by December of next year. What are my options here? there are a couple sophia classes that I passed with 75+ grades which I know COSC wouldn't accept. I did get the BOG from Pierpont with some of this, but I would imagine sending in that transcript would be credit laundering

Can anyone shed any light on reading the textbook for Micro Bio and/or Nutrition?

The previous course I took had a Chapter listed to read under each Topic. These two do not mention it at all in the lessons. It's just listed as the title of the book on the syllabus. 

Am I expected to know the book cover to cover? I found the books on Open Stax but the chapters don't really match the title/order of the courses.

I don't really mind reading textbooks #nerd if I need to but don't want to waste my time if its not covered on tests or the final.

Thanks in advance

Would LOVE some help with this from you all.

I need to get an MBA, masters degree, or even just an associates from an accredited unviersity as soon as humanly possible for my Canadian permanent residency status to be renewed. Otherwise I and my family will all have to leave Canada, which will be devestating. Ideally I want to be fully done by mid January at the latest. A masters gets me many more points than an associates.

What would be the absolute fastest way to get one of the above if I were to start today?

I have unlimited time for coursework every day, and am very capable. I already have an WEC-approved bachelors.

I have been reading the wiki and trying to wrap my head around UMPI vs WGU vs TESU and transferring in Sophia courses etc but I'm so short on time, and would love help from anyone in the group who is very knowledgeable.

Location: Halifax, NS, Canada
Ideal degree: In order of preference, MBA, Any masters, associates (each kind gets me points)
Age: 32
Budget: $6k
Commitments: Child here in NS, have a full-time job but can take time off.
Dedicated Time to Study: 24/7
Existing credits: none

Thank you in advance!

I am looking for recommendations for online schools to complete an associates & bachelors in Finance & IT (Data Analytics) or Project Management; using as many credits as I can using Study.com. Looking to pay out of pocket. 

I am not an active poster but this forum has been a big help to me for many years.

I have not seen people talk about SWAYAM in recent years, but they are a collection of free MOOCs set up by the Indian government. Some courses can be taken for credit at the undergrad and postgrad level after completion of a proctored exam (~$40).

I do not know if anyone has successfully transferred these courses outside of the Indian public education system or for other online programs, but it might be of use to people on this forum. They have some more specific and niche courses not offered online elsewhere.

Looks like Sophia is coming out with a new upper-level course shortly: Operations Management.

Here is the newly-added ACE page: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...65f38bf0e1

We will need to wait where the schools will agree with this ACE recommendation. Lately, UMPI has evaluated these new Sophia courses as BUS 2XX electives, but TESU has accepted them as upper-level after a couple of months.

Hello All! My 19 yr old daughter is finishing her AA at the local CC. With your past recommendations, she was able to get Elementary Spanish 1 and 2 through Sophia and get the credits accepted at the CC. Next challenge - we are looking for online, non proctored, INTERMEDIATE Spanish 1 and 2 courses - preferrable self paced. Spanish is her weakest area and we tried the INTERMEDIATE spanish at the CC twice and had to drop - it just didn't take for her.  In order to finish the BA at the Univ, she will need those two INTERMEDIATE spanish courses. Bottom line, we need to find the most user-friendly courses just to get those done and checked off the list. Does anyone know of any online, non proctored, INTERMEDIATE Spanish 1 and 2 courses - preferably self-paced?

TN eCampus has INTERMEDIATE Spanish 1 and 2 courses, but they will not verify whether those are proctored or not. They tell me it depends on the instructor(s). 

STUDENT INFO:
State: TN
Age: 19
57 hours completed: combination of CLEP, CC courses, and Sophia (including sophia Spanish 1 and 2)
AA will be completed this spring
Transferring to an in-state Univ next Fall (TBD) with 60 hours remaining for Technical Writing / English BA. 

As always, any info is much appreciated!

I've been reading this forum for a few days. I think I understand the concept of piecing together a degree. Please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly. First, I should do my online work like Sophia, Study.com, Davar, Coursera. Then I should enroll in TESU. Maybe just sign up for the 1 credit TECEP, even if I never take it. That entitles me to (unlimited?) transcript evaluations. I absolutely need to do the cornerstone (is this the Information Literacy?) and the capstone at TESU. If I don't do a minimum of 15 credits at TESU, I'm charged a fee, so it makes sense to just take the 15 credits there. E-packs satisfy that requirement. Once my transcript has been evaluated, then do my semester at TESU so I absolutely know what is required of me to graduate. 

Is all of that correct?
