  Cell Phone Deal - OnePlus Nord 30 - Best Buy $0 plus cost for X days service
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 03-03-2024, 04:59 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (6)

For those who can get in contact with Best Buy mobile to ship this to you (or the nearest Best Buy to you), you can get this deal for $0 plus cost for X days of service. Previous best price was just $50, it's a very good budget to mid range phone. Amazing deal for a backup or second phone, you just buy, cancel once you get the phone, it's already unlocked... And yeah, there are 75+ pages on this deal since it started 3/1/2024.

  Financial aid issues
Posted by: yc1981 - 03-03-2024, 12:39 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (1)

Has anyone else had any weird issues with the financial aid office at umpi? I had a name change in 2017 which was all done thru the courts, got a new social security card etc... I applied to both TESU and UMPI but ultimately went with UMPI. However they have not been able to get my financial aid awarded because they say 'there is a problem on the back end' with my social security number not matching my new name. They keep telling me to contact the social security office but give no further info. When I contact the social security office they have no idea what to tell me because my social security card literally has my new name on it from when it was reissued in 2017. Even my birth certificate was amended. So there's nothing else for them to do. When I tell this to umpi I'm sent in circles and told to contact the social security administration yet again. Meanwhile TESU had zero issues processing my financial aid when I initially applied... I even called to ask them if anything looked weird on their end and they said no. Soooo I have been having to pay cash for my classes yet again this next term.... which I did not anticipate having to do.  Sad I'm not sure if my situation is unique or if anyone else has had issues or could offer advice to try to talk to the right person over there.

  UMBI Political Science Advice
Posted by: XNutty98 - 03-03-2024, 12:08 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Hey everyone. I made a post a few days back and got great advice but I've changed my mind. I'm 41 years old and my main goal is to become a police officer within the next 3 years. Crazy at my age, I know, but I'm physically fit and it's always been a dream so I'm going for it. Originally I planned on a BA in criminal justice from UMBI but I've changed my mind to UMBI political science. I don't think a police department is going to care what my degree is in and political science gives me MANY more backup plans if the police thing don't work.

My goal is to get BOG by the end of the month. Then into UMBI in May. Done with UMBI in 2 sessions (8/23/24 - my birthday). Then maybe go on to Masters in Political Science somewhere. Right now I'm just focusing on as many Sophia courses as possible. I spoke to Nancy at Piermont and she gave me a basic outline and said that I can take whatever I want at Sophia to satisfy the 60 needed for BOG but I also want to make sure I can get some for UMBI as well.

Your Location: NY USA
Your Age: 41
What kind of degree do you want?: Political Science 
Current Regional Accredited Credits:

Any certifications or military experience?
No


Budget - 10K

Commitments - 30 hour work week

My goal is to get BOG from Piermont in a few weeks and start UMPI in June. I'd like to know what Sophia/Study.com courses I can take to get as many credit for UMPI as possible. I've searched the plans and couldn't find anything on Political Science at UMBI.

Thank you guys!!

  CA Kindergarten Teacher?
Posted by: Carnation - 03-02-2024, 11:23 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (2)

This is for a friend of my son's.
Looking for options.
I'm waiting to hear from her as to what courses she has already taken, but she just started at the community college this last fall.

CA
18 yo
Whatever degree can lead to becoming a kindergarten teacher within CA
She has less than 24 community college credits and nothing else.

She wants to earn a degree without having to sit in a classroom any more than she has to so she can work maximum hours.
She lives at home.
No Tuition assistance other than grants which she likely qualifies for.

She sees my son knocking out a class or two at a time and she wants to be able focus on a couple courses at a time and work at her own pace instead of semesters.

  Non-Degree Enrollment
Posted by: PreLawCoastie - 03-02-2024, 06:33 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (12)

Hey all,

I'm done with the requirements for my BA in Political Science at penn state world campus this semester, but want to raise my uGPA for law school admissions over the summer. My current plan was to take ASU online courses. I took several ULC courses, but those do not offer A+ grades, and the regular ASU online courses are $250/credit with military benefits. UMPI also offers A+'s, and would be much cheaper to grind for credits, but unfortunately I will have minimal free time when I transfer in June, and seem to have missed the deadline to apply for the semester starting in March. My GPA is currently around a 3.7, and will be a 3.8 after I retake two concurrent enrollment classes from High School at BYU-I.

Looking at the yourpace website, it looks like they have a non-degree option, but I can't apply for it - the form on that page never led to a response. Does anyone have any experience with enrolling as a non-degree student, or a way around the deadline?

  Troy University Master's - $250/credit for military
Posted by: PreLawCoastie - 03-02-2024, 06:28 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (11)

Hey All!

I'm finishing up my BA in Political Science at Penn State World. I'll have met all the requirements for the degree this semester, after only a year (a long time for this forum, but pretty good for a name-brand state school without any distinction between campuses, looking at you PUG!) I'm knocking out minors in Sociology and History over the summer (just two UL classes in each, got ll history classes through CLEP and ASU ULC and taking ll Soc courses at ASU online) because I'm trying to get my GPA up for law school admissions. I'm also considering doing a semester at UMPI before I leave for a different unit in June, but it looks like I missed the deadline.

But, I still have a year before I can apply for law school through my military branch, and two years if they don't accept me into the program and I have to wait for my contract to end! So I'm considering a masters, probably in International Relations/Affairs. I'm mostly looking at King's College London's online IA program or SOAS's Diplomacy program, but those are about 20,000 pounds, so I wanted to tell you all about my fallback - troy University

Some of you might recognize them from their six free undergrad RA credits they offered a few years back, but they actually offer a ton of grad programs at about $400/credit. The kicker is: if you're in the military it's only $250 a credit for a Master's degree at a state school!

  TESU Response Time For Application
Posted by: joshua27 - 03-02-2024, 10:41 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

How long does it normally take to hear back from TESU?  I applied a couple of weeks ago and submitted my transcripts but so haven’t seen any response. This is for a 2nd bachelors if that matters.
