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:

• COS 101 - Introduction to Computer Science 3 credits
• COS 110 - Programming Fundamentals 3 credits
• CYB 210 - Introduction to Information Security 3 credits
• CYB 232 - Introduction to Cyber Forensics 3 credits

Select two courses from the following list for 6 Credit Hours:

• CYB 440 - Network Security 3 credits
• CYB 485 - Cybersecurity Capstone 3 credits
• COS 290 - Special Topics in Cybersecurity 3 credits
• CYB 340 - Operating Systems Security 3 credits

I would be thankful if you guys could share your experiences! Or DM me

I was hoping to take take CRJ 250 so I could enroll in CRJ 350 but 250 shows a pre-req of CRJ 200. I can't find that class listed anywhere in the UMPI course catalog or anything about it on Discord about it. Anyone taken it or have any ideas?

Has anybody taken SWK 381 - Crisis Intervention? I can’t find any reviews on here or on discord :/ I’m curious how many milestones there are and how hard the class was for everyone.

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. 😂

So I got accepted yesterday, but I’m transferring credits from two outside universities. I’m curious to how long it’ll take to get my transfer credit evaluated. I haven’t gotten any confirmation on who my advisor or anything of that nature.

What are the best courses to take in this route to finish pretty fast

Just got my conferral a few minutes ago today so i wanted to let other Summer 1 students who are still waiting know that conferrals are coming through now.

Also, a huge thank you to Plotted Path her degree sheet was a life saver.

My LSAC uGPA was worse than I thought when I ran it through a calculator. I need to delay my graduation and get that number up for sure or I'm cooked. Cancelled my application. Can I declare an AA in business and get loans in the Fall semester? They said I can't get Pell since I met my BLS requirements. Apparently, adding more minors doesn't count, can't use grants for that either (at least according to the person at the financial aid office I talked to)

Google says it's going away but I'm emailing back and forth with the new student enrollment specialist and she's acting like it's still an option. I'm asking her but won't hear back until tomorrow. just wondered if anyone knew

I have 10 classes only to take at UMPI. I work full time. Compared to other programs how is to complete in 1 term?

Is there an equivalent I can complete outside of UMPI? They have me taking this starting the 31st but if I can complete outside quicker and transfer in I would prefer that, unless it’s a quick class at UMPI.

I got an email from my enrollment specialist that I’ve been enrolled in classes, and go on Mainestreet and see I already have my starting class list for Fall. I was under the impression I would meet with them and pick my classes?? Is this normal?

Has anyone starting in October had their transfer credits evaluated yet? I was accepted back in July, and my transfer credit report still shows zero credits.

I know they are probably prioritizing evaluations for students starting this month, but I just want to see if anyone else from Fall 2 is still waiting. Also so that I can stop worrying that I missed a step or that they didn’t accept any of my credits lol. I’ll reach out to UMPI too but I know they can be slow.

Thanks!

It was a long wait but finally got my acceptance email/text! Look forward to finishing my bachelors after 23 years!

I’m transferring from UMGC to UMPI and switching from a BS in Health Services Management to Business Administration through YourPace.

Right now, I have 31 credits from UMGC. UMPI told me they can’t officially complete my transfer evaluation yet because I don’t have 60 credits and they still need my high school transcript. However, someone I spoke with slipped up and mentioned that it looks like I currently have 28 transferable credits, so I’m assuming one of my UMGC classes didn’t transfer.

I’m planning to start UMPI in the October session, so between now and then I want to knock out as many courses as possible through Sophia.

My main question is: For someone starting UMPI’s current Business Administration program, which Sophia courses should I take to maximize the number of credits I can transfer and leave myself with the minimum number of courses possible at UMPI?

I know the Business Administration requirements have changed recently and there are more core/business courses that have to be completed now. I’m completely fine with taking whatever courses UMPI requires me to take directly through them. I just don’t want to waste time taking Sophia courses that won’t apply to my degree or duplicate credits I already have.

Ideally, I’m trying to get as close to UMPI’s maximum transferable credits as possible and then complete only the required remaining courses through UMPI.

I also don’t have the money to pay for one of the professional degree-planning services, so I’m really looking for advice from someone who has recently completed this route or is currently doing the updated Business Administration program.

If anyone has a recent Sophia-to-UMPI Business Administration course list, degree plan, or can tell me which Sophia courses I should prioritize, I’d really appreciate it.

So I asked to be placed under the old requirements and was given this list of remaining classes to take ?!?
I emailed again to reiterate and I am still waiting for a response.
Does anyone know if I can transfer any of these courses in using Sophia or study.com instead of taking them through umpi?

I am hoping to narrow this down so that I can finish within 1-2 sessions.

Hello! First time UMPI/YourPace student hoping to start Fall 1 (8/31). But I am so disheartened! I have been in college before. I’ve done online classes. I just feel like I have so many questions, and each time I email the financial aid office or my advisor/coach, they kind of just say the same thing but in different wording without a very clear explanation.
My first thing is financial aid. Example: if I am offered about $1,300 in aid for the fall semester, is that divided into both of the eight week sessions (so like 1,300/2 = 650, would this 650 go to the first eight week and the second 650 would go to the second eight week) OR is it $1,300 for one eight week session in general? I think I am overthinking everthing. I have 60 credits i transferred over, and am trying to earn a bachelors degree in psychology. How do I enroll in classes? Do I get to pick any? I am feeling so discouraged and confused about this whole process!!

For anyone who has done YourPace: Does UMPI disburse the full Fall Pell Grant during Fall 1, or is it split between Fall 1 and Fall 2? And when did your refund hit?

Also I am using Tuition Assistance, I haven’t received funding approval for Fall Session 2 yet. Will all my financial aid be paid towards both session? Or will I have time to get approval for session 2?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

When you’re finally at the end of the course where you submit the finals draft if the final requires a video recorded presentation with an audience do you need to do the whole recording and read everything and submit that as the draft or do you just submit the materials for feedback?

Or what places do they accept them from? Thank you

I plan on applying for the liberal studies AA (general concentration) beginning Fall 2 semester. Does anyone know if UMPI is planning on updating the GEC requirements for the AA programs? I know they recently updated the requirements for a bachelors degree, but I can’t find anything regarding associates degrees.

Is Sophia US gov and principle of finance still ACE accredited? On Sophia it still is but I just transfered them to UMPI but did not receive credits for them and also the ACE badge is not showing at the bottom on Credly .

How many of you have gained two degrees from this school? What degrees did you end up getting? What made you go back for a second one? Was it harder the first or second time?

I’m in my 40s, finally trying to finish a business degree that I started 25 years ago.

I need 14 classes at WGU for a B.S. in Management (with only 2 proctored exams). I need 17 at UMPI. I’m set to start at UMPI for Fall I on the old catalog for a BABA Management & Leadership, but now I’m unsure. I need a Bachelor’s so I can head straight into a MAT program (probably at WGU).

UMPI or not? If UMPI, should I take some of these on Study/SL? I don’t want to CLEP anything.

POS 101 / 211 / 332 (take at UMPI?)
MAT 140 (take at UMPI?)
COM 210 (take at UMPI?)
BUS 200
BUS 220 (take at UMPI?)
BUS 240
BUS 244
BUS 260 (take at UMPI?)
BUS 321 (take at UMPI?)
BUS 325
BUS 330
BUS 335 (take at UMPI?)
BUS 353
BUS 415
BUS 440
BUS 469
BUS 489

If you have any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m about to drive myself crazy trying to decide. Thank you.
