  Sophia credits not accepted
Posted by: mattbau43 - 05-08-2024, 12:26 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (21)

I have been informed that these two courses will not transfer to UMPI . My understanding was that they would. Could anyone offer any guidance?

  Can GE and Major Reqs be Double Dipped?
Posted by: msamet20 - 05-08-2024, 07:24 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (9)

Hello. New here and planning my application to UMPI for a BA in Psychology.

I'm in the process of trying to map out my curriculum so I only need to take 10x courses (30 credits) at UMPI and reach my 120 credit total for graduation.

Here's what I'm looking at:

  • 40 credits, GE's - This will be a combination of Sophia credits and some courses I've taken in the past I'm hoping will transfer into the right slots.
  • 35 credits, Electives - I have a bucket of credits from 3 previous schools I've attended which should be more than enough to cover the 35 (even after I subtract away the credits I'm planning to use for GE's)
  • 9 credits, 3x lower-level Psych courses available on Study.com
  • 31 credits, 10x upper-level Psych courses taken at UMPI, plus their 1 credit Freshman orientation class
So, when I add it all up I get... drumroll... 115 credits total. Not the 120 needed to graduate.

What I discovered is...

The cause of this credit shortfall are the 2 double-dipped courses I'm trying to share between my GE's and the Psych reqs. These classes are:
  • General Psychology
  • Basic Statistics
I'm not even sure how to formulate my question exactly. I guess I'm wondering:
  • A.) Can these classes be counted both as GE's and as Psych reqs? If so, can I make up the remaining 5 credit shortfall with more transferred credits (I've got plenty of them).
Or
  • B.) Must I choose different GE courses to fill those requirements? For example, choosing Algebra instead of Statistics for the Math GE requirement and Ethics instead of Psychology for the SS GE req? (In other words, because General Psych and Stats are already being applied somewhere else, it is as if I've only got 34 credits counting towards my GE reqs and I need 2x additional courses to make up for that).
I hope this makes sense to someone. Thanks for any insights you might have.

Lightbulb Community College credits to BS?
Posted by: TPierce89 - 05-07-2024, 02:01 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Hello, I am a new member looking for general guidance. I graduated High School in 2007 and went to a local community college in 2007-2008 before leaving to pursue work. I have been in Law Enforcement for 13 years and the longer I work, the more I regret not pursuing a degree. While perusing the job opportunities outside LE, many require a BS degree to be considered. I would like to obtain a basic BS degree that would fulfill this need so I can explore opportunities that are more relevant to my interests. Aside from my career in LE, I also was a senior Android Developer for a software company in Chicago for 5 years. I know this doesn't translate into credits, but I may be able to easily pass some of the lower-level IT courses if I need to jumpstart my credits. Here is the template with my current information:

Your Location: Alabama, USA
Your Age: 34
What kind of degree do you want?: Batchelor of Science
Current Regional Accredited Credits:

School Name Total Credits: # Shelton State Community College
Class Name, Credits, Grade

ACR 209 Commercial Air Conditioning Systems, 3, A
ACR 210 Troubleshooting, 3, B

EMS 140 PREP&Prehospital Operations, 2, B
EMS 141 Assess & Traumatic Injuries, 3, B
EMS 142 Med Emerg & Ped Care, 3, B
EMS 143L Bas Clin Comp Lab, 1, A

ENG 101 English Comp 1, 3, C

18 Credits Total

Any certifications or military experience?

CI099 Basic Computer Skills for Law Enforcement (3 Hours)
CI100 Identifying and Seizing Electronic Evidence (2.5 Hours)
NASRO Certification (40 Hours)
Crisis Intervention Team Training (40 Hours)
Law Enforcement Academy Certification

Budget: Under $2,000 or as cost effective as possible.
Commitments: I work full time and have children at home, but aside from that I will be able to study.
Dedicated time to study: 2-4 hours per day max
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I am not aware of any available financial assistance.

  Does UMPI YourPace accept Credly Transcripts?
Posted by: SophiaPrincess - 05-07-2024, 09:15 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (5)

I have received two automated emails from UMPI requesting official transcripts. I have sent transcripts from Credly twice as well as emails inquiring if UMPI accepts transcripts via Credly but have received no response. Jessica has not responded to my call but I understand from the forum that she is quite busy. If Credly is not accepted, is Parchment the best option for ACE credit?

My Sophia courses, CSM course and Google Project Management certificate are recorded on the Credly transcript. The only other college level study is the Intuit Bookkeeping course through Coursera (TADA). Coursera has not sent that to Credly.  I am uncertain if the bookkeeping certificate is recognized for college credit.   If so, I don't think Coursera provides transcript.

  Help - Excelsior Degree Transfer
Posted by: dcowan1 - 05-07-2024, 08:01 AM - Forum: EU - Excelsior University Discussion - Replies (3)

I enrolled in Excelsior University. My EC said I would have to go through Coopersmith for Business Data Analysis and Business writing. I signed up, completed the 6 assignments for business writing with a B average. Data Analysis doesn't have test or assignments. Just the final. Can anyone who has taken these two finals give some insight? Since there is a two month waiting period if you fail, id like to be a first time pass. 

Thank you.

  "For the People, For the Country: Patrick Henry’s Final Political Battle."
Posted by: Charles Fout - 05-07-2024, 06:09 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

This came across my Facebook feed this A. M. It's a fascinating discussion.

https://fb.watch/rVMIoM-9o2/

As an aside - I highly recommend attending the "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech at the Historic St. John's Church in Richmond. It's amazing they sit you in the pews. you could be seated next to a reenactor who is portraying one of our Founding Fathers. It is also often performed at Red Hill. Patrick Henry Jolly, Patrick Henry's fifth Great Grandson is a frequent guide/performer at Red Hill
