So I signed up for The American Dream Academy. Now I have only until end of April to finish them. I'm going on a trip a in couple weeks. I'm wondering is there a way to work on TADA offline like on an airplane by downloading content? Just wanted to ask. 

Also, is there a way to work on the certs on a mobile app? I will not be bringing my laptop on the trip.

Has anyone taken the 500 and 600 series classes?  What was your strategy for studying?  So far with BUS 501, I've watched the videos and gone through the study guide.  I attempted the final quiz and fell just short <-Using that to study for retake.  Hopefully their test bank is not huge.  I may see if someone has uploaded to Quizlet.  The goal is to prepare for an MBA.  Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Short time lurker, first time poster. I have been researching online degrees and stumbled upon this amazing forum and have been building my path to a bachelor’s degree ever since.  Humbly asking for help to make sure I got this right. 

It looks like UMPI’s YourPace Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration – Project Management & Information Systems is the right choice for me.

I visited the UMPI’s General Education Roadmap and BABA Project Management wiki and built this spreadsheet below:

Transfer Credits Pathway Spreadsheet

Rough draft, bear with me.

I understand that unlimited credits can be transferred to UMPI, but only 90 credits can count towards your degree.

Questions:

1. If this is the case, is there any reason to complete more than 90 in Sophia/Study/Coursera?
   
2. Does this mean I need to take more Gen Ed, Project Management, or Business Administration classes at UMPI and add in more of the General Electives to Sophia/Study/Coursera?
   
3. Ultimately, does this pathway look like it will work/best optimized or should I talk to a UMPI advisor before starting this journey? (I understand that they want you to apply right away)
   
4. What’s a realistic timeline for a working, childless adult?
   

It's already March! Wow, time flies by so quickly when you're busy...

What educational goals do you have for this year, are you planning anything?

There are still a few cheapies or freebies I want to finish for Coursera/EdX.

Hmm, anyone come across PayPal asking for ID and address confirmation before?  I read online and this seems like a normal thing they do.  I don't mind, but never actually had to do this until yesterday, so I took a picture of my drivers license and my college transcript, sent it in... Within minutes, my account restrictions were lifted.  I don't know why so many people online rather 'end' their PayPal account over that.  Maybe because it's a privacy, personal info issue, but I think it's like a bank or credit union, places that require your ID before they give/take money from you...

Having finished all the transfer credits (93), I am finally ready to apply to UMPI. Link to my Degree Plan.
I have just now filled the form and I expect to be contacted soon.

As an international student based in Italy, I have two questions: 

1. Do I need a US phone number? Can everything be done by email?

2. To get my High School Diploma evaluated by WES (Document-by-Document Evaluation), should I buy WES ICAP or is the WES Basic package enough?
Alternatively, since it now seems that UMPI accepts other equivalency providers, is there a better deal?

Thank you.

Hi,
I noticed some users have a signature when they reply the post. But When I go to the user profile, I didn't find a place to create or modify this configuration
Could any of you show me how to do it? Thanks

I first learned about the 1 credit ARW419 TEEX Disaster Management for Water & Wastewater Utilities course from: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Fr..._of_Credit

I finished the course and emailed them to get issued my Credly badge issued like I have been for all the free TEEX cybersecurity courses and I got a response that there the course was not ACE approved? (response attached)


I responded back to a link to the ACE National Guide entry for the badge: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...65f38bf0e1
The entry does state that the classroom version of the course is the one approved for credit.

I haven't received a response yet. Has anyone been able to get this badge after completing the online version of this course?

Hello everybody. I'm new to all of this and really need your guidance!
I've had a long educational journey and really want this chapter to be done with. I have an AA from Florida State University, but then my father got sick and I had to return back home to Argentina (I'm an international student). I studied philosophy for a while in public university in my country, then law... Now I'm in the US, newly married and applying to be a permanent resident. I don't have a legal permit to work yet, so I'm really bored and in need of purpose. I thought continuing my education would be out of the question because of how expensive it is, but then I discovered this whole realm of possibilities and it's got me really excited. If someone could point me to the right direction, I would be forever grateful!
I'm thinking of the BA in History & Political Science because I've always been social sciences/humanities inclined, and always saw a future in teaching and/or working in the government or NGOs. I sent an e-mail to UMPI asking about transfer credits, but they told me that they could only tell me what would transfer after I apply, which was a letdown. This is what I have:

CPO2002 - Intro to Comparative Govt
ENC1101 - Freshman Composition & Rhetoric
GEA100 - World Geography
MGF1107 - Practical Finite Math
AMH2010 - History of the U.S. to 1865
BSC1005 - General Biology for Non-Majors
BSC1005L - General Biology Lab
ENC1102 - Freshman Writing & Research
MAC1105 - College Algebra
ECO2013 - Principles of Macroeconomics
INR3003 - Intro to International Affairs
PHI2010 - Intro to Philosophy
PSB2000 - Intro to Brain and Behavior
ANT2410 - Intro to Cultural Anthropology
ECO2023 - Principles of Microeconomics
LAH4430 - History of Mexico

INR2002 - International Relations
INR3933 - Special Topics: International Law
PHI3882 - Philosophy in Literature
