I am 2 weeks in at UMPI, and I have to say I'm blown away when I read about how some people on here are just plowing thru these classes at the speed of light. I am doing Creative Writing and Project Management right now. I am almost done with Creative Writing and it's one of the most un-fun classes I have ever taken in my life, lol. Project Management is very interesting but it's still by no means something I can absorb and get through in a week. I read a post on here from someone who said "most people finish their degrees in 1 session" at UMPI. How on earth?! I have to do 10 classes thru them and at this rate it's going to take me months. I do have plenty of time to study but I can't just force feed and absorb all that info at that volume and pump out the milestone papers immediately. Am I just slow or are there others who have to go at a slower pace? Every time I read this forum I start wondering if there is something wrong with me, lol...

Will Peach has several articles about becoming a later in life MD or DO Doctor.

If you enroll with TESU, do you lock in the catalogue for just the degree that enroll with or for any other degrees you might add on later as well?

For example, if you enroll in the BS-CIS and then, 2 years later, decide to switch to the BACS, would you then be on the old catalogue year for the new degree, or would the clock reset to the current catalogue on the date that you add the degree?

Has anyone recently transferred the SAS Advanced Programmer Certificate from Coursera into TESU’s BA Computer Science program as an UL additional AOS elective? I emailed advising in November (and was careful not to mention anything about Coursera) and was told nothing transferred from the SAS Institute transferred to TESU. I know it’s listed in the wiki as transferring and I’m tempted to try it to gain some extra UL credit. I just wanted to see if anyone else had recently tried before I did. Thanks!

I have it mapped out so I can transfer 89 credits into the WGU BSIT.  This will require me to take 32 credits through WGU.  I read that 75% is the max they accept and anything over gets your application denied.  I wonder what possible back up I might have if I made an error and had too many credits to transfer into WGU.  Does anyone have suggestions for what online schools to have as a backup?  I have my A+, Net+ and Sec+ from comptia and soon will have the AAS BOG from Pierpont.

I noticed WGU's course, Business of IT - Project Management, is for Project+ cert.  According to the transfer pathway agreement with sophia, PM1001 (SOPH-0013) satisfies this course.  Does this mean I will not need to get the Project+ cert to complete this class since I did the course on sophia?

Hi, 

Apologies if this is a redundant question but I'm a bit confused on how adding another class works. 

What I do know about it is that you can only have two active classes at a time. But I am able to request a third class after I've submitted a final (I know I can request a fourth if I finish both classes early). So say I finish a class in two weeks, and then I request a third class; for that third class, I have to complete it before the 8 weeks of the term is done, right? So in my example if I have the third class added after the second week of the term, I would only have 6 weeks to finish that third class or else it'll be counted as an F since I didn't finish it within the term.

I appreciate all the help.
