If I need to delay my payments for a course registration at TESU, how late can I delay it and what are the fees for late payment?

If someone takes a course via an alternative provider and then changes his/her mind and wants to take it a second time at UMPI to count for the 30 credits, is that possible?

Just a warning but Sophia is apparently cracking down which I am not surprised about in the least. A lot of crying going on over at Reddit.

Since I'm enrolled at a regular state university I could take the first six sigma-step (yellow belt) for free. As an Add-on I could get a AQS-certificate for EUR 180 (about 200 USD). I'm really interested in learning about this method and the yellow belt only takes 8 hours. Of course they want to sell you the green and the black belt as well
Has anyone ever done 6sigma at all? What do you use it for?

And ist the yellow belt on its own worth it - even if I decide not to take the green and black belt?
Does the ASQ-certificate make a huge difference on my resume or is it just a waste of money?

So I'm reading news stories, with photos, about the  Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF). So the Air Force senior enlisted person is getting blasted for addressing Airman while his neck tie was too short. Silly rule, but it is a rule and, thd CMSAF is obligated to be the perfect exemplar of uniform standards. 

I assume he has his own decent size staff of senior enlisted people. I think his staff failed him. They should not have let him appear in public without a perfect uniform. This may appear to be insignificant. I think this little case study deserves discussion. 

Does it even matter that his tie did not cover his Belt buckle?

What difference does a leader's appearance make?

Did his staff fail him(I think they did), or is he the only one responsible for his uniform?

Your Location: United States (I’m the sponsor. My friends daughter whom I’m the godparent of a girl who lives in the Philippines in the province)
Student’s Location: Province in the Philippines
Student’s Age: 22
What kind of degree do you want? Any — She doesn’t yet know what specific field to pursue, but she needs a bachelor’s degree to qualify for decent jobs in the Philippines. We are open to suggestions that are fast, practical, and employable.

Current Regionally Accredited Credits:
She completed 2 years of a tourism degree at a local college in the Philippines (not regionally accredited, but possibly transferable depending on the school). We’re hoping she can transfer those credits into a full online program.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
None yet, but open to exploring Sophia.org or Study.com if needed.

Any certifications or military experience?
No certifications yet.



Extra Context:
I’m helping fund her education, so we’re looking for something under $1,000 USD total. Ideally it would be fully online, self-paced or competency-based, and open to international students, since she will likely remain in the Philippines. Accreditation doesn’t need to be regional as long as the degree can be used locally for employment or possibly evaluated later on.

Questions:

1. What are the most affordable options (under $1,000 total) for finishing a bachelor’s degree online for someone in the Philippines?
   
2. No need to transfer but if there is anything that can be 1k or less that is self pads/CBE for a good bachelors any degree so can find a good job to help her family 
   
3. Is ENEB (with IEE or WES evaluation) a practical path if she needs a degree just to meet job requirements, not for grad school?
   
4. Are there self-paced or competency-based programs that are fast, practical, and budget-friendly, even if non-traditional?
   

Hello!

My GPA wasn’t the best and I have attended other colleges throughout my life. It’s never “stuck” but recently I decided my dream was that I wanted to go to law school (I turned my life around) but I never thought it was possible with my history of bad grades. Then I got to thinking I need to take a bunch of credits to get a better grade. I was originally thinking of using UMPI to get an undergrad but now I’m wondering if it would be possible to use it to boost my GPA. Or if there are other schools that are self paced and graded to get my GPA up. I don’t need anything fancy for law school - I’ve considered liberty or somewhere with a low/moderate acceptance rate. 

Thanks!

Do you folks know who should I contact regarding this? I got the Azure Fundamentals cert via Certiport (not directly through Microsoft) and the credly page doesn't have the ACE credit logo on it anymore:
https://www.credly.com/org/microsoft-cer...ndamentals


The AI Fundamentals one still has it, for e.g.:
https://www.credly.com/org/microsoft-cer...ndamentals

On ACENET it says the cert still has ACE status until 9/30:

I am an international, but I am in US, so not sure if required the English Test or not if enroll. I want it can be evaluated all ACE credit to school, and quickly and easy to get the degree, I like no exam test is better, if need, can we use ChatGPT? 

Actually: i have sent above ACE credit to WGU, WGU only allow transferred 58 credits, and I have sent to TESU to be evaluated 2 weeks before, but I did not receive any feedback from TESU(might be I have not enroll in TESU).

I hope someone gives me some suggestion.

I'm a long-time user. I got my associate's from Excelsior and my bachelor's from TESU (back when it was TESC). I completed IT training in the Army and Uncle Sam paid for me to pass 21 CLEPs and DSST. This forum was a huge help.


I recently got a verbal offer for a position teaching middle schoolers business. I would be completing the alternative licensure program since I already have my bachelors. What would be the fastest online program to complete my alternative licensure requirement? It would be great if I could knock it out in the summer. I have a baby on the way so the least amount of time is preferred. However, I am open to more prestigious programs like Pathway to Practice NC if they prepare me for the classroom. I am also open to out-of-state programs if they have reciprocity but I wasn't able to find anything on this.

Also, would this need to be CTE or business specific program or can I do anything middle school?

I would prefer to keep around $5k-$8k. I have 8 months left on my GI bill if that helps. I can spend 6-8 hours a day until August 18th when school will start. After that, I can spend 1-2 hours a day on it but would prefer to spend with my family. Ideally, I would complete in 2-3 weeks but I don't know how this compares to my other online education.
