  Help with UMPI admissions requirement
Posted by: Throwmeaway1590 - 03-22-2024, 07:46 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (2)

Hey I am a prospective international student. I didnt have a good time in my home town and and struggled with mental health issues (covid,family issues). Therefore I was enrolled in my countries university but I didnt take any courses or completed any. Hence there are no transcripts it is all empty. To Americans this is unthinkable but there is no tuition here so I was basically a student on paper. Personally I do not think the rules were ever made for this type of situation. I did graduate from my countries equivalent to highschool though.

During my time I worked as a part time cashier.


"


  • Students who do not have any college credits must submit the following:
    • Provide high school transcript, high school equivalency test (HiSet), or GED
    • A resume to indicate activities and experience post high school diploma (or equivalent)

  • "


YourPace Admissions Requirements - YourPace (umpi.edu)


I am getting closer to the 90 credit mark on third party course providers. My situation might seem odd to some.

My question is : Do I include being once enrolled on paper? I cannot send anything to WES that is not there I can only send them my hs transcript. And how should the rest of the resume look like? Is there anything required from my employer or should I simply list what I did?

  First post, political science class guidance needed
Posted by: Daniel14 - 03-22-2024, 10:26 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (6)

I've been been taking Sophia classes since March 1st. I was turned down for a government job all because I lacked a piece of paper on the wall. To say say the least I have been motivated and decided to cut back on sleeping for awhile. I'm attempting to get a Political Science Degree and a history minor from UMPI. 

So far in the last 22 days I have knocked out 63 credits with 3 more credits waiting for a final touchstone grade. Outside of English I and II, History II, and Spanish I and II what else am I missing that I still need to take? 

Developing Effective Teams
Visual Communications
Art History I
The essentials of Managing Conflict 
Introduction to Ethics
Introduction to Nutrition 
Introduction to Information Technology
IT career Exploration
Introduction to Business
College Readiness
Introduction to College Mathematics
Macroeconomics 
Art History II
Introduction to Web Development
Introduction to Career Readiness
Environmental Science 
Microeconomics 
Life Span Development
Project Management
College Algebra 
Human Biology
Conflict Resolution
Financial Accounting
Foundations of Statistics 
History I- waiting on final touch stone grade 

38 year old 1 semester college drop out that I doubt anything even transfers from my only semester in college because of the remedial classes I was placed in at the time.

  New Sophia Courses: Health, Fitness, and Wellness and Anatomy & Physiology II Lab
Posted by: LevelUP - 03-22-2024, 04:21 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (20)

I see these courses listed in the ACE database, though they are not yet live on the Sophia website.

Health, Fitness, and Wellness
https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...65f38bf0e1

Anatomy & Physiology II Lab
https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...65f38bf0e1

I assume this will also be an Anatomy & Physiology II class that matches the lab course.

  Payment Plan
Posted by: Robinred2404 - 03-21-2024, 01:15 PM - Forum: EU - Excelsior University Discussion - Replies (3)

Does anyone know how the Excelsior payment plan works? It says you can divide it up between 2-6 payments. Do you have to make all those payments within the course timeline? For instance, if I take an 8 week course would it be divided into one payment the first month and one payment the second month? I'll be getting reimbursed from my employer but I want to know how much I'm going to have to come up with upfront.

  Need some advice
Posted by: tpell1219 - 03-20-2024, 10:57 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (17)

Hi guys!
I graduated from TESU in June 2022 with a Dual BSBA of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration and HR/Organizational Management. Also two associates degrees in business administration and arts. 

I’m beyond frustrated. I have yet to find a job. It’s tough out there. I’ve paid for resume writers, used ATS scanners, adjusted every resume to the job I’m applying for. Believe me I’ve done it all. Networked on LinkedIn, made posts, used the fishbowl app, asked for referrals, etc. I have been ghosted by recruiters more times than I can count. I’ve attended interviews that went well only to be told that hiring needs have changed, I don’t have enough experience, lay offs occur, hiring freeze, etc. 

Two months ago my husband was diagnosed with cancer. I guess in a way it was a blessing that I wasn’t working so I could take care of him. I’m having surgery next month. I feel like it’s one thing after the next. Right now money is so tight. I can’t afford certifications right now. I’m considering taking out a loan for additional schooling. I’ve been looking into WGU’s BS HIM and MHA programs. Does anyone have any insight of these programs? Im anxious to make a move on one of these programs because I don’t want to waste my time and money. Does anyone have any advice regarding schooling? I’m not looking for advice on finding a job. I’ve been told by recruiters that I’m doing everything right and it’s just the job market.

  Know your Canada/US geography? Think again!
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 03-20-2024, 09:56 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Interesting enough... I knew a few of these, but not all of them, how many did you know? I wonder why they didn't make things easier before, like give the entire places to Canada like parts of Vancouver Island, in exchange for Alaska. There wouldn't have been so many extra un-needed borders...
