CLEP exams are only available for 10 years now. I don't like this.

While Bill Maher does have a serious case of TDS, he is pretty anti-woke, and regardless of politics, he does care about the truth.

Clown World update.

People are waking up. One of the foreign language YouTubers that I follow went on a rant about how bad things have gotten in New York.

This is the first time I've ever heard him talk about politics, but it must have become impossible to ignore all the problems New York is going through with its incompetent woke leaders.

New York is currently experiencing:

• High crime rates, with criminals seemingly having more rights than good citizens at this point.
  
  
• High rent due to extensive housing regulations.
  
  
• High taxes aimed at funding wasteful government spending.
  

Hello everyone, long time lurker here! I'm aiming for the most easily obtained degree regardless of cost, though cheaper options are welcome   I am a US citizen but don't currently reside there. I am in my mid-30s and have been teaching TEFL for a decade and was hired as a grade 1 teacher. My goal is to work towards a master degree in elementary education but right now I need to obtain any degree I can to maintain my visa overseas.

This is what I have so far:

Nutrition and US History are redundant. I have maybe some credits from brick and mortar schools, 15 years ago, perhaps amounting to a semester and a half but I owe student loans (in default) and assume I can't access those anymore. I assume the same situation makes me ineligible for financial aid.

What school/degree combination would be most suitable for my situation and what other credits do I need to max out the transfer policy? I am eyeing TESU (Generic liberal arts degree) as I can transfer in 114 credits and then work on my capstone project. 

I'm sorry if I am sharing too much background information, but I welcome any advice! 

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I just discovered the UMPI Reddit. Also looking good!

Can CLEP, SDC, Sophia, etc. be considered Education Credit Expenses on one's taxes? I've applied credit for them toward my degree at TESU. I was just wondering this as I'm doing my taxes right now.

I'm waiting to hear back from my advisor (it's been a few days), but my transfer report came back and everything was anticipated but this one item - Financial Accounting. I took the Financial Accounting class at Sophia, since it was on the wiki list. I'm wondering if this is a new development, or just an oversight? 

There's an accounting 101 class on SDC that transfers, I'm wondering if I should pay for another month of SDC and take that final just to be safe. I placement tested through 80% of it.

Thoughts? Transfer report is attached

Hey everyone, 

Scratching my head over how minors at UMPI work. I've seen some post talking about getting minors but I'm unsure if it's possible to get a Criminal Justice minor. I'm pursuing a BA's in History and Political Science so a tiny bit of the courses overlap with the Criminal Justice BA. Are there links on the wiki or official UMPI sites that say where you can get a minor, specifically for CJ, for YourPace students? 

Or is this something I need to ask my academic coach about?

If yes you can get a minors in CJ, would anyone know how many credits of CJ courses would count as a minors. And is it possible to get more than one minor? 


Thanks.

I was told by my academic success coach that I had fulfilled all the requirements to graduate this term. However, having read a lot of online feedback that the coaches have been incorrect in the past, I have completed a review to validate if I have met every requirement to graduate and it turns out that I havent met the residency requirements.

The residency requirements state:

1. At least 30 credit hours of study through UMPI (met requirement)
   
2. At least 12 of these credits must be in the major (met requirement)
   
3. At least 9 of these 12 must be at the upper level - 300-level or above (have not met this requirement)
   

Hi all, I've seen a couple other posts here re: Capitol Tech's PhD programs and want to hear from other folks regarding experiences with the European model curriculum of all courses having no content aside from preparation for the final deliverable. In this case, I've chosen the publication route (publishing three articles in peer-reviewed journals) as opposed to the dissertation route. Due to the degree costing $54k USD and facing intermittent financial challenges between work and family these past few years, I have been in and out of registering but kept in contact with my chair. As a result, I managed to have all three articles completed and accepted to approved peer-reviewed journals as per protocol, without completing the majority of the courses. I was informed that the $48k of remaining courses besides the Defense course (which would make sense to take) are all required and in the order in which they are listed - no exceptions. 

I am curious if anyone has faced this dilemma before and, if so, would you consider spending that much money on basically contentless courses? I am aware I got myself into this pickle, I was just really invested in carrying out my research by any means, and at the end of the day, while chances are slim I will earn the degree now, I wanted to ask here for any similar experiences.

Thanks in advance!

I saw some posts about things changing with the move to brightspace and that most final assessments won't be exams but papers or projects.

These are the classes I will have left at umpi but I'm not sure which ones require an exam or paper/project. I was hoping current or previous students can assist.
