Looks like Sophia is coming out with a new upper-level course shortly: Operations Management.

Here is the newly-added ACE page: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...65f38bf0e1

We will need to wait where the schools will agree with this ACE recommendation. Lately, UMPI has evaluated these new Sophia courses as BUS 2XX electives, but TESU has accepted them as upper-level after a couple of months.

Hello All! My 19 yr old daughter is finishing her AA at the local CC. With your past recommendations, she was able to get Elementary Spanish 1 and 2 through Sophia and get the credits accepted at the CC. Next challenge - we are looking for online, non proctored, INTERMEDIATE Spanish 1 and 2 courses - preferrable self paced. Spanish is her weakest area and we tried the INTERMEDIATE spanish at the CC twice and had to drop - it just didn't take for her.  In order to finish the BA at the Univ, she will need those two INTERMEDIATE spanish courses. Bottom line, we need to find the most user-friendly courses just to get those done and checked off the list. Does anyone know of any online, non proctored, INTERMEDIATE Spanish 1 and 2 courses - preferably self-paced?

TN eCampus has INTERMEDIATE Spanish 1 and 2 courses, but they will not verify whether those are proctored or not. They tell me it depends on the instructor(s).

I've been reading this forum for a few days. I think I understand the concept of piecing together a degree. Please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly. First, I should do my online work like Sophia, Study.com, Davar, Coursera. Then I should enroll in TESU. Maybe just sign up for the 1 credit TECEP, even if I never take it. That entitles me to (unlimited?) transcript evaluations. I absolutely need to do the cornerstone (is this the Information Literacy?) and the capstone at TESU. If I don't do a minimum of 15 credits at TESU, I'm charged a fee, so it makes sense to just take the 15 credits there. E-packs satisfy that requirement. Once my transcript has been evaluated, then do my semester at TESU so I absolutely know what is required of me to graduate. 

Is all of that correct?

Hi all!! All I need for my bachelors is 3 credits in Social/Behavioral Science. I think Introductory Psychology would be the fastest for me to grab (Or intro to Sociology), but I have no idea what resources are the best for that course...

Any tips/links/PDFs/Practice Tests/Quizzlets?

Hello everyone,

I applied for admission into the BABA PM & IS program a few weeks ago. When filling the application form, I mentioned that I attended college in the US 15 years ago, but I had to withdraw due to medical reasons and only finished 5 courses. I was then asked to provide the necessary documents, which I did including a high school transcript evaluation since I'm an international student, an English proficiency test and a Credly transcript showing more than 90 transferable credits gained from sophia and coursera. I was also asked to send an official transcript from the university I attended, but when I tried to do that, I discovered that I have a financial hold for an amount of money that is impossible for me to pay off anytime soon. I then emailed the admissions team at UMPI and told them about my situation, but they still insist that I provide that transcript even though I have provided all the other documents and a resume showing an extensive professional experience and now they won't even respond to my messages. I have also contacted Jessica Winslow who refered me to the director of yourpace admissions. He answered once repeating the same thing and no response from him again.
I am very worried since this is my last chance in getting a bachelor's degree soon that will allow me to start a master's program next fall. Please if anyone knows how I can resolve this situation, I'm all ears.

Thank you!
