I’m curious to get thoughts on how long it typically took other students to complete 17 classes at UMPI. I’m looking at a BBA with concentration in PM and Leadership.
I’ll be working full time but my job is remote and I have many days were I only have 2 hours of work.
Edit: thank you everyone! I’m planning on two sessions but ok with three :)
I’m starting at UMPI this fall after being out of college for a few years. For work, I’ve gotten pretty used to writing reports using voice-to-text. The longest report I’ve done this way was around 3,000 words.
Of course, there are usually some transcription errors or incorrect terms, but I go back and fix those manually. I’ll also use Gemini afterward to help with proofreading and formatting.
Has anyone used a similar process for UMPI courses? Does voice-to-text work well for writing essays and milestones?
FYI my courses are for the BABA PM degree.
My husband starts UMPI for Fall 1. He is transferring all of his GEC from Sophia, 2 of his psychology classes from Study, and then will do 10 classes at UMPi for psych.
If I’m understanding correctly, he needs 120 credits total to graduate, so the rest would be electives if all psych requirements and gec requirements are met. Is that correct? He has 6 classes from Sophia that will transfer in as electives and has 2 weeks left of his Study subscription so wants to get a few more of those done.
He was leaning toward some of the history classes- the Vietnam war one, the holocaust one, and civil war one. Does anyone know if they transfer?
Or, any suggestions for classes that transfer well from study to umpi for electives?
And then lastly, on another topic, I’m trying to help him figure out how to cover 2D. Is Critical Thinking on Sophia still an option like it was a year ago? He’s also a very talented writer, so he could always wait and take creative writing at umpi. I don’t think there’s any creative writing courses that transfer in.
Thanks so much in advance!
Ps. ETA: apparently he has two weeks left of Sophia too, so open to suggestions for electives from there too. The ones he’s already using are us history 2, financial accounting, art history 2, and conflict resolution.
Hello!
I got my transfer credit report (no enrollment specialist yet ): ) I'm terrified! I have seen some conflicting information that their was a deadline to enroll in the old GEC and old BBA in PM. I don't even have an enrollment specialist yet to be able to ask for this. Is it possible to reach out to someone randomly on the enrollment specialist list and see if they can help? Has anyone done this or does anyone know if this is just a rumor about the deadline??
I'm going for a Bachelor of Applied Science with a minor in MIS and I only need 10 classes. Any tips? Anyone complete this degree with any job luck? Planning to at least do 3 hours a day working on this, how long might this take?
Course list:
Hi!
I’ve looked at plotted path and tried to do my own research but does study.com or straighterline have any courses that would satisfy my 2 left in gen ed? I originally had 21 classes total on my degree report and since August 1 I’ve been able to knock off 9 from study or straighterline. I can’t use Sophia got sanctioned off there which is wild. Here is my updated list:
Gen Ed:
I’m in the MSB program and BUS 696 is my last class. I just found out the Summer 2 add deadline was August 17, so I missed it by 3 days.
My advisor said I’ll have to take it in Fall 1, which means paying another full $2,450 session for one class.
Has anyone ever gotten a late-add exception this close to the deadline?
Also, do current YourPace students have to reapply for Fall 1, or do you just have Enrollment add the next course?
I'm a bit confused — is the final for BUS 335 supposed to be a PowerPoint or Word file? It seems weird to me that an employee handbook would be in PowerPoint format. I've seen different people saying they've submitted Word documents and PowerPoints. There's no mention of a PowerPoint in the instructions until the very end and it's "make sure the files are converted to a ppt, pptx file. (you can share Google Doc and MS OneDrive documents from the “Choose Existing Activities” button)."
anyone ever had luck asking a prof to grade early for your LAST course to graduate? I completely understand they don’t have to, but I’m worried about the timeframe for a contingent job offer. I’m wondering if this is even allowed. I am just very worried about my probation period ending before my degree confers.
Anyone else still waiting for their advisor/a rep to get back to them regarding being put on the old plan? 😅
Just trying to see if anyone that applied for Fall 2 2026 got their acceptance and evaluation yet? I’m going for my second bachelors here. BA in Accounting program. I applied August 3 and already sent in all transcripts. I know it’s probably too soon for any acceptance
I went ahead and messaged my enrollment specialist, but wanted to post here as I wait for a response. So it shows me as matriculated, and I have been plugging away on what I thought was GEC’s for Sophia, only to find out now that many probably won’t transfer in. I emailed asking if I can be put on the old degree path but haven’t heard back. I have seen posts about the deadline to be switched was yesterday, is it too late for me? Did I throw away time and money at this point? Kind of freaked out at the moment
Has anyone graduated with this degree??? What’s your job?
Has anyone completed the BUS 469 final with Professor Jeffrey Davenport?
Did you actually have three people present, or did you record the presentation alone? If you recorded it alone, was it accepted?
Also, what did you use to record yourself and the PowerPoint?
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
I realize a lot of us are starting to get antsy (me included) about what the turnaround timeline is to get assigned an enrollment specialist. I'm starting this running thread to see who may have already been assigned a specialist, who is still waiting, or who's already been enrolled in classes.
Please respond with your major, when you applied, and what your status is (assigned, waiting, or enrolled).
Thank you to everyone who utilizes this thread to help others in the same boat.
As we are approaching the end of the term, I am considering withdrawing from one of my classes. Reason being, I won’t have enough time to submit a draft by the deadline (this Friday) because I’m finishing another class. I could most likely complete the class by next week. But I’m not sure I want to risk a lower grade that might have been prevented if I’d submitted a draft.
My question is, if I withdraw and retake the class next term, could I resubmit my completed milestone work as is, since I’m assuming the course content won’t have changed at all? Or would that be considered plagiarism?
I’m curious…what kind of setup is everyone using for online classes? Laptop or desktop? Would an iPad or Microsoft Surface work well, or would you recommend a traditional computer?
I’d also appreciate any tips for someone taking online classes for the first time. It’s been 23 years since I attended college, so needless to say, a lot has changed. Apparently, I’ve become the old guy asking technology questions. 😂
None of my essays have been specific about this??
I was curious if you can complete a Cybersecurity minor on Yourpace once the BS launches? I would like to do a BLS w/ MIS and Cybersecurity minors for Fall 2. This is the criteria for the on campus minor:
I would be thankful if you guys could share your experiences! Or DM me
