r/UMPI

I’m looking into UMPI for a BLS so I can finish a bachelor’s for CFP requirements. I attended a private university for 3 years before COVID/life interrupted things. I completed all my gen eds plus the coursework for my Theatre major and Anthropology minor, and only needed additional credits to graduate.

I received my transfer eval and out of 157 credits, only ONE class transferred as a direct equivalent. Everything else came in as electives, so my audit shows I’d still need almost all gen eds and major requirements, basically 90+ more credits.

My enrollment specialist sent me the credit re-evaluation form, but it only allows 3 classes at a time and asks for syllabi. I don’t have syllabi from 6+ years ago, though I may be able to find course descriptions.

Has anyone dealt with this? Is it worth repeatedly submitting re-evals with course descriptions, or is this normal and unlikely to change much?

For last milestone, my paper is coming back almost at 50% on Turnitin since I am using my previous milestones. Should I ignore it or need to rewrite everything?

Title says it all, I'm having a hard time deciding which to chase first and I think I would like to know if the BLS MIS has a lesser amount of writing?? Don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to writing but I find it time consuming to locate reference sources, etc. I'm just thinking maybe I can move through the MIS course list faster if there is a lesser degree of writing involved.

Just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the passing of John Bear, the man who wrote the book on distance education. So many of us are greatful for the knowledge and enthusiasm that he had on this subject; without him, many of us wouldn't have known or been the advocates that we are for programs like YourPace. Thanks John for all of your insights -- truly an amazing individual

Just found out that I have to change my start date from summer 1 to fall 1 because the aid for 26/27 doesn't start until August 31. Just thought I'd put this out here in case it helps anyone who didn't qualify for 2025/2026.

Edit: not everyone has approved aid for the years 25/26. This is for the people that are waiting for 26/27. Most schools start 26/27 on June 1st. Umpi doesn't accept 26/27 aid until August 31.

Do NOT listen to the people who didn't read my post in the comments. They are eligible for 25/26, which isn't applicable to this post. This information came straight from the financial aid office.

I’ve emailed and called for days omg. There was an email from fin aid but I can’t reach anyone to find out why my aid was cancelled?

My boy Rodney already got his refund sent out today, but mine still ain’t moved yet 😭. Lowkey thinking it might be ‘cause of the amount difference. Plus he only signed up for Summer 1 while I’m enrolled in both Summer 1 & 2, so maybe mine gotta go through extra processing or something

So Straighterline, it's not very clear for the managerial accounting course if we could use a calculator for the FINAL. has anyone taken the final recently and can you confirm we can or cannot? it literally says you can use a scientific calculator if it's a math or science class. this is not a math or science class, so it's kind of in the middle since we have a lot of math equations to do!! I wanna get this exam done tomorrow she said it might take a week to find out from her lead the actual answer. I really wish they were more consistent!! and also while I'm at it, I'm assuming we cannot go to the bathroom during exam either? (damn coffee bladder sometimes!!)

I am planning out my transfer credits before enrolling so I'd like to see which courses people here focused on first. Let me know your thoughts!

• General Education
• IT/Tech Courses
• Math/Science Courses

Hi everyone. wanted to make this post because a year ago I would've appreciated it if someone had made this post for me to read. I've recently been accepted to the master of data science program in Monash University. I did the YOURPACE program studied the BABA IS and PM stream. Did everything College hacked told me to do. I'm making this post to stop any doubts that anyone may have about the validity of the degree upon graduation if you choose to pursue education at the masters level. thanks!

Afternoon, everyone!

I received my acceptance notice yesterday and promptly completed the intent form to begin the credit transfer evaluation process so I can start during the Summer II term. I’ll be pursuing a B.A. in History & Political Science with a concentration in Political Science.

I’ve already activated my student email, but I had a few questions for those who may have gone through this process already:

1. What was the turnaround time for being assigned an advisor?
2. I’m honestly pretty nervous about the math general education requirements since math has never been my strongest subject. For anyone who has taken the math courses, would you mind sharing what the experience was like? For example, are exams proctored, or are the courses more completion-based?
3. Any additional tips, advice, or things you wish you knew beforehand would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to this new chapter and connecting with everyone.

Hello all, I'm updating my Linkedin and adding UMPI to my education. For those of you that have done YourPace, did you put your exact dates, did you only put the date that you received your degree or you're expecting to receive it? Will recruiters care if it doesn't show 2-4 years?

I have not graduated yet but I know it's good to have an expected date on there just to show it's in progress. For a little more context I'm already working and have been for years. The BA is for 1. to make getting a bigger salary easier and 2. help me on my way to what I will be doing long term.

Thank you so much for your advice!

I just added my direct deposit account and I saw refund was posted earlier today. I hope it won't be sent through check and it'll be the bank I just enrolled.

I'm over the moon right now. So glad I've found this university. I will begin classes in October to start working on my Bachelors in Psychology! Any tips? I will be using PlottedPath's spreadsheet to keep track of what classes I need. I dropped out of college after a single semester way back in 2016 because of financial issues. I've been working since then, and I got married and had a baby in 2024. Been a stay at home mom and my daughter will be 2 in two weeks. Things are a lot more manageable now so I'm excited to begin my new journey!

Out of:
Bus 245 Programming for Managers
Bus 359 IT Project Management
Bus 401 Project Management Applications II

which 2 would you pick?

The answer to this question probably seems self explanatory. But I submitted a draft and received a 3.75/4 on it. I don’t want to commit any more time to this course, can I just submit what I have for the final assessment without the professor docking additional point for not making a recommended change?

I started May 11 and I finished 3 classes in the first week so I should finish by the end of this term, but I’m a bit confused about how applying for graduation works?
