  I need cheap classes to boost GPA
Posted by: introsequence - 05-16-2025, 10:11 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (25)

Here's my situation:

I'm a non-traditional med school aspirant. Currently taking prerequisite classes. 

I'm also in need of significant GPA repair due to a bad undergraduate record. What is the best source of very cheap, accredited, online, asynchronous classes that I can start at anytime? Preferably "easy" classes.

  I'm Back!
Posted by: colonelcamp - 05-16-2025, 03:50 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - No Replies

Hi Everyone,

I took some time off from my pursuit to focus on helping my kid get into his college of choice. Now that that's all done, so I reached out to UMPI and I'll be enrolling for Summer 2 (July 7). Can't wait!

I'll be doing the BAS with mgmt and business admin minors. I may add a political science minor as well. I got the Pierpont AAS just in time before they changed everything over there and all my Sophia ACE credits were evaluated and accepted successfully by UMPI last year. I don't think I'll be affected by the changes UMPI has made, but we'll see when I enroll in classes.

Looking forward to engaging with everyone again. Hoping you're all well!!!

  Commencement Time Again
Posted by: Charles Fout - 05-16-2025, 07:51 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

It's the time for graduation ceremonies again. I remember my own graduation with joy. It was a very small group. Only three undergraduate degrees were awarded. It's worth noting that AMU was established with the goal of providing an opportunity for commissioned officers to further develop Professional Military Education (PME). That is the reason so many master degrees were awarded.

For a fun comparison, I listed the numbers for my own graduating class and those of the most recent. Our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was awarded his AMU MA just a few years after I  was awarded my own. AMU BA.

I delight in the success and growth of American Military University / American Public University.


June23, 2002 - 
American Military University held its commencement ceremony today, at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, DC. I was one of one of seventeen graduates in attendance. Fourteen Master of Arts in Military Studies, two Bachelor of Arts, and one Associate of Arts degrees were conferred.

Question Do Surplus Credits Appear on the Transcript of Records?
Posted by: animuscerebri - 05-16-2025, 04:40 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

I transferred some foreign credits to TESU. As a result, certain previously allocated credits — such as some ACE credits no longer needed and some foreign credits — were "pushed outside the regular program," since I’d already met those requirements with other RA credits. At the bottom of the "My Progress" page, beneath the electives 30 (SH) credit section, I now see a new "Other Courses" section listing all of these de facto "no longer needed" credits.

My question:
Do these surplus credits still appear on my Transcript of Records? I don’t mind if they do—in fact, I find it helpful to show that I’ve completed more college-level work than what is strictly required for my degree. Does anyone know?

BTW: If they do appear, could this approach work as a type of "credit banking"?

  bjcheung77 accountability thread - UoPeople BS Health Sciences
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 05-15-2025, 12:21 PM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (11)

Well, what do you know?!  I just applied to their BS Health Sciences degree program as they're now RA and it's one of the programs that can't be had for this cheap, easy, fast elsewhere.  Even though they've got a funky 'degree mill' sounding institution name and need some work on the teaching back end (along with their leadership or management), it's a good deal if you can get it!  The other degree I'm interested in is the MEd Advanced Teaching (IB), I'll do that afterwards... I believe the next term starts June 19th, I hope to get accepted sooner rather than later...

  Associates Degree - General Requirements
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 05-15-2025, 10:40 AM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - No Replies

For the most part, almost all associates degrees are 60 or more credits, and comprises of general education and electives.  There are some degrees with an emphasis, focus, minor, etc, it's just a different name for a similar structure of 15-18 credits or so.

With alternative credit, the max most institutions allow for transfer is 75% of the associates degree, which is 45 credits out of the 60.  For those using the associates to ladder into a bachelors, you can max out that 75% as well, which is 90 credits out of the 120.

My suggestion nowadays have been to maximize the use of ACE and alternative credit options, up to 90 or even more if you're going for Coursera certs that grant college credit through ACE recommendations.  This adds to the trifecta of certs, degree, experience...

Going above the 45 for the associates and getting 90+ will hit all the general education and elective requirements for the bachelors, you'll only be left with the residency requirements for the major, usually 30 credits, unless it's in a very unique major.

When I started several years ago, I went with StraighterLine to get a feel of online education, I took 34+ courses with them over a span of 3 months subscription, I also had to pay for each individual class I wanted which cost between $49-$69 each back then.

You now have better options that are cheaper, easier, faster, here's an example:  Study.com recently came out with a new pricing plan, their College Starter which is $95/month, 2 at a time, unlimited classes a month (currently 67 classes to select from).

You can use these classes offered by Study.com towards the 90+ credits, hitting all the general education and electives for a degree from one of our recommended institutions, you'll still need to complete the requirements from those institutions to finish.

TLDR: For your associates, complete more credits to hit future requirements for a bachelors of your choice, affordably using alternative credit such as Study.com, up to 90 credits for use towards recommended institutions within the board.
