r/UoPeople

What do you think are my chances of getting into an Ivy League/Russell Group university for a master’s after doing my bachelor’s in computer science from UoPeople? Say I have a 3.9 GPA. I really want to get in, but I’ve not seen many success stories on here.

Suppose I’ve already checked with the target universities for acceptance of UoPeople degrees and maintained a good score, have some projects, and good LoRs. What else can I do to get an edge over brick-and-mortar uni students?

I was taking a psychology quiz (topic: emotions) and noticed something weird. Question 4 and Question 5 have literally the exact same wording:

"Emotions can influence physical health but have little impact on mental well-being."

On Question 4, I answered FALSE and it was marked wrong (0/1), implying the "correct" answer was TRUE.

On Question 5, with the exact same statement, I answered FALSE again — and this time it WAS marked correct (1/1).

So the same statement has two different "correct" answers depending on the platform. This has to be some kind of error when the question bank was uploaded (probably a similar question got copied incorrectly, something like "have a significant impact" vs "have little impact," and it ended up duplicated with the wrong answer key attached).

Has this happened to anyone else on Canvas/Blackboard/Moodle or other quiz platforms? How did you handle it with your professor? I'm planning to send a screenshot, but I want to know if this is common or if I'll have to push hard to get the point corrected.

Así como dice el título, por cuestiones de tiempo y planes quiero hacer un bachelor degree de computer science y terminar todo en máximo 2.5 años transfiriendo 90 créditos, y preferiblemente una vez que termine aquí en UoPeople quiero irme a OMSCS Georgia tech, pero estuve leyendo que habían cosas así bien raras con el GPA en cuanto con los créditos, y que si no hago suficientes cursos de computer science en UoPeople podría tener dificultades para aplicar a una maestría y cosas así, quiero saber que tan cierto es esto y si me podrían dar varias recomendaciones para poder hacer bien todo esto, gracias de antemano a todos

Are there any substitutes for Sophia for credit transfers

I lost points on a discussion post for supposedly going over the limit. I knew that was nonsense. When I checked the feedback and reread the instructions, I realized what happened. They take the automated word count from the top of the discussion board and that number includes everything, including the reference list at the bottom. But when I counted my actual writing, with all the in-text citations where they belong, I was comfortably within the range.
I even typed the body word count right at the end of my post, plain and obvious. They either did not see it or chose to ignore it. This term especially, they have been unusually strict about these word count numbers, watching every single word like hawks. But honestly, I cannot spend my energy explaining to a professor that the references are not part of the word count. That is a basic distinction they really ought to know by now.

To the instructors, how many courses are assigned to you per term?

Hey guys

I already transferred 72 Sophia credits (24 courses) to UoPeople, and they were all approved.
Since then, I’ve completed 6 more Sophia courses and want to transfer those as well.
The problem is that Credly only lets me send my entire academic transcript, which also includes the 24 courses that have already been transferred.
Has anyone been in the same situation? Did you simply resend the full Credly transcript, and did UoPeople only evaluate the new courses? Or is there a way to submit only the additional courses?
I’m mainly worried that resubmitting the full transcript could somehow affect my previously approved transfer credits.

My instructor deducted points because I submitted my post before Sunday. It says to submit by Sunday! How is that possible?

If I plan to transfer many credits from Sophia, will I still have a GPA on my transcript when I graduate? TIA

I’m going to try to keep this as short as possible because I am beyond frustrated.

My transfer credits were finally approved on 6/15/26 after waiting about a month and a half. That process alone was exhausting, but whatever. Once everything was reviewed, I found out I only had five more elective classes left to complete since my gen eds are already done.

I took all five courses through Sophia. Three were accepted immediately, but Calculus I and Pre-Calculus are apparently not. yet no one can tell me why. I now have two transfer-credit requests sitting in “pending information,” and my advisor has not responded about the issue.

I uploaded my official transcript and even included a Word document explaining both courses. Before taking them, I confirmed with both UoPeople and Sophia that they would be accepted for credit. So if they are not going to accept them, you would think they'd just tell me that directly and explain why?

I already canceled Sophia, and I really do not want to pay for another month just because UoPeople cannot give me a clear answer. I am so over this process and the incompetence.

My instructor i genuinely buns. He's so critical of everything I submit. After revisiting the rubric and assignment task over a billion times and still going above and beyond, I still somehow am not upto the mark, need to go above and beyond and the dude docks a million points, he never responds to my messages or emails. Does he just correct our papers to get rid of his frustration, for reference my other course instructor is so chill, she always responds and her feedback is so nice. She docks points but it's fair. Unlike my other instructor 😡.

Hello,

I am taking this course called Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture (CS 1105) and it is very difficult. I spend hours trying to understand the topics from the provided resources but they are also written very vaguely and confuse me even more. Are there any other resources (preferably video lectures) that cover the topics in this course clearly? How did you learn when you were taking this course?

Hi everyone,

I see many students talking about transferring credits from Sophia Learning and Study.com to save time and money at UoPeople.

Has anyone done this for the B.S. in Computer Science at UoPeople?

Which Sophia/Study.com courses did you transfer?

How many credits were accepted?

Which courses would you recommend taking outside UoPeople?

Were there any courses that UoPeople did not accept?

Would you recommend this approach?

I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice.

Thanks!

Hey guys my assignment went like 10-20 words over the word limit, I didn't realise while submitting it but suddenly I remembered I never checked to see if I was within the word limit. I checked and realised. Anyways I did a 2nd submission with the proper word limit and requested the instructor in the comment section to ignore the first submission. What's the chances they'll listen?

I just found out that you can review the similarity report within minutes after submitting an assignment that has the Turnitin symbol. If you click on the percentage, it will open a new browser tab with the full report in the Turnitin Feedback Studio highlighting all the possible areas of plagiarism.

I think this is a really huge improvement from Moodle because we no longer have to ask for a copy of this report from the instructor after falsely being accused of plagiarizing. :)

The status of my transfer request changed today. However, I'm unable to proceed with the payment. Instead of taking me to the payment page where I can select the accepted courses and complete the payment, it redirects me to the New Transfer Request page.

The live chat hasn't been working for a while, so I can't get in touch with a program advisor. My assigned advisor also hasn't replied to my last three emails, so I'm not expecting a response from them.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows what I should do?
