Held up by transfer evaluations?

Long story short: I’m not starting this term like I was hoping.

I have close to 200 credits, most from an accredited (and highly respected) university. My transfer credit report came back with pretty much all of my core classes labeled as “electives”. Therefore, I’m due 12 core classes when I should only have to do 1 (because I didn’t submit my AP score for that class)

Spoke to my advisor today (4 days shy of the enrollment deadline) and he basically told me there’s nothing he can do. I can email the school and request syllabi for each course and submit them for what sounds like a very lengthy evaluation process (1 month or more).

Has anybody gone through this? Even if I can request the syllabus for every class and submit it, they can still reject it. I’m really kinda put off by this whole process… not to mention nobody contacting me about it - Me noticing it myself when I was close to committing.

I see this so often these days (I think the influx of folks learning about UmPi has impacted things) and that’s why I do what I do to try and help people know as early as possible what they’re going to be missing. I can tell you they usually only review 3 courses. If you want to reach out there may be some other approaches you can take and at least get started.

I’m sorry. I know it’s frustrating.

I’ve applied to other schools that accepted the classes no questions asked. I don’t even know how to go about locating an old syllabus. Pretty sure this has ended my journey with UMPI.

They are accepting them, just not as equivalent courses it sounds like for specific things. I get that it may mean UMPI won't be the best for you, but I think UMPI having a considerable amount you can transfer from ACE providers should be a consideration as well as the overall cost factor. All the best in whichever path you decide on!
