Thumbs Down Transfer Evaluation Woes
Posted by: TaraD2020 - 02-22-2024, 09:04 PM - Forum: EU - Excelsior University Discussion - Replies (8)

So I have applied to the usuals - WGU, EU & UMPI, but was definitely interested to see what EU would give me for my credits.  My eval is weird.  Going for BS: Liberal Arts and its 120 credits.  They accepted 92, but then states I need 38 additional credits.  So, 130... WHY!?

I knew I would need UL courses, but I needed to see what would be considered from what I already have, and I am happy to see my Google Project Management was awarded 6 UL, and Sophia Principles of Management 3 UL.  

Anywho, I am concerned with the fact that for someone else in the same degree program, they accepted the Google Digital Marketing & E-Commerce certificate with 6 LL credits, but not for me.  And my eval states I need 7 more credits in the LL area applied professional or additional arts and sciences.  So... there are 6 right there..  Plus, I had several fall through from Sophia, and any of those would also cover that area, or at least the remaining 1 credit after the google cert.  Especially Art History 2, because they took Art History 1.

I also knew I would need the 7 required credits through EU, so no big deal, and then English Comp 2, because I avoided it.

Maybe I am not reading it right, but if yall could take a look, that would be super.  Maybe I am missing something...I emailed to appeal already.

  CLI now has Candidate Status with the ABHE!
Posted by: Mint Berry Crunch - 02-22-2024, 02:40 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (3)

Been a while since I made a post, but I received an email from CLI about the update on their accreditation status. I've been monitoring closely their process on being accredited and this is awesome to hear! I'm wondering if they'll still abide being tuition free when they reach full accreditation status.

  PUG IT transfer credits
Posted by: BritStudent - 02-22-2024, 02:12 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (2)

I've recently been chatting with a PUG advisor and I was querying how IT certifications transfer over.

I mentioned that on the IT transfer page https://www.purdueglobal.edu/alternative...ion-exams/ it lists for example, Azure Fundamentals and 4 PUG course equivalents, IT222, IT227, IT303 and IT306. I asked to confirm if that means it meets all those requirements and if so, how are the credit transfers calculated?

They advised that for any cert I transfer in I can apply it against only one equivalent - is that right?

  ENEB MBA/Master + OTHM level 8 Postgraduate | Combination Evaluation
Posted by: ecdw94 - 02-22-2024, 12:23 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (4)

Someone recently mentioned to do the ENEB MBA/Master + OTHM level 8 Postgraduate certificate and let it be evaluated. Which should result in "regionally accredited" masters degree at least. Specifically, its about WES Canada. 

Does this make sense and how would one submit BOTH documents if WES Canada does not even accept ENEB for evaluation anymore?  

Or what is this person talking about ?

  Advice Needed - Degree Planning - Help Please
Posted by: Caecal07 - 02-22-2024, 10:39 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

Is there a slow and steady option to get from an Ed tech 3 so 90 credits to a teaching cert.  I'd like to do RTI work so intervention 1:1 or continue as a TA maybe teach but Im a bit worried about the paperwork of it all.  Currently im in the 5th  grade 3 days a week.  All my education was in social service and adult intervention but this schedule really works for raising my kids. Ive got some health issues and alot of commute time so flexibility and cost are key.  Attached my transcript waiting on the newest one but this is the basics.  Below are the state requirements or can get a traditional teaching degree!


Alternative Routes to Certification
There are a few options for obtaining teaching certification in Maine for those who have not completed a teacher education program within their bachelor's degree.


  • Return to school and complete a second degree in education

  • Earn a master's degree in education

  • Participate in a one-year teacher certification program

  • Apply for a conditional certificate with the Maine DOE while completing courses required for a professional certificate
Required Education and Experience for a Conditional Certificate
Each certificate endorsement holds its own specific requirements. To qualify for a conditional certificate, an educator must meet the following requirements:

  • Completion of a bachelor's degree (except for career/technical: a high school diploma or GED may qualify with adequate work experience)

  • Completion of around 24 semester hours of qualifying college coursework (or qualifying work experience)

  • Completion of a background check
All courses taken must be at a 100 level or higher from an accredit four-year college. However, up to six semester hours can be waived with a score of 60 or higher on a CLEP subject exam. For example, a passing score could waive an Algebra or an English class requirement.

Smile BAS UMPI Degree Planning Questions
Posted by: Chimera - 02-22-2024, 12:59 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (8)

Hello everyone, firstly i want to say thank you to the community here if it wasn't for the kind souls who have documented their way to these degrees and come back to share any insights they had found i would have never taken the leap to pursue college and get myself a degree.

I am currently planning to pursue the BAS at UMPI in Cybersecurity or Management information systems, I have already applied to pierpont for the BOG AAS (1/3/24 Still waiting on letter or email of login) and I'm beginning to plan for my Bachelors more in depth.

My current plan is to follow the transcript of another poster who went for the BAS in MIS to fulfil my general ed requirements and finish the other technical credits on TEEX and the remaining on Sophia.


I am most interested in a CyberSecurity degree however i haven't come across anyone on the forum who has done that so i am unsure if it can be completed in the way i am hoping it can, alternatively Management information systems would satisfy me as well.
In addition i would like to explore the possibility of an add on Associates through UMPI in Business, However i am not fully aware of how this process with the BAS or with any Associates works with YourPace.  

I was hoping some of you might be able to help me find some clarity here while i move towards the bachelors and perhaps give me a fair warning to correct my plan if anything seems to not work out how i am envisioning it.

  New York Governor Kathy Hochul admits that the $355 million Trump verdict was a sham
Posted by: LevelUP - 02-21-2024, 08:32 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (11)

Not that the far-left or the media had any creditability left, but now they are openly admitting what they are doing is a BS.

Trump’s $355M fine won’t hurt NY businesses that follow the law, Gov. Hochul says
https://nypost.com/2024/02/18/us-news/tr...chul-says/

“I understand [that the Trump ruling might make New York business people fearful], but this is really an extraordinarily unusual circumstance that the law-abiding, rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry about because they’re very different from Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul said

‘Shark Tank’ star Kevin O’Leary says he won’t invest in ‘loser’ New York after $355M judgment against Trump
https://nypost.com/2024/02/20/business/k...p-verdict/

“This award, I mean, just leaving the whole Trump thing out of it and seeing what occurred here … And I’m no different than any other investor, I’m shocked at this,” O’Leary told Fox Business Network on Monday.

Not sure why police officers were making these snarky remarks in the article, but there should be 'calm' and advocates should do their best to have any possible charges made be completed if at all possible...

This is weird, Taekwondo instructors should be teaching the following, but the instructor didn't do any of that... It could have been totally avoided if they followed through with such teachings!

- Relaxation and meditation exercises, as well as breathing control
- A focus on mental and ethical discipline, etiquette, justice, respect, self-confidence, and leadership skills
