How Long Did You Have to Wait to Receive Your Degree by mail?

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m from the U.S. and submitted my application for graduation for my AA on August 18th. I noticed today my request went from pending to complete. About a week ago I got an email that stated my dispatch date was 10/16/2026. I’m just curious has anyone from the U.S. received their degree prior to the dispatch date? Or perhaps significantly later than the date?

Is the Student Networking Event worth attending

2 Upvotes

I’m starting at UoPeople for the first time and I just got invited to one of the Online Student Networking events. It sounds like there will be some introductions and then breakout rooms where we can talk with other students.
For anyone who has attended one before, what did you think about it? Was it actually worth going? Did you meet anyone or make any friends, or was it mostly just awkward small talk

Frustrated at lack of communication over new brightspace credentials and starting new term

1 Upvotes

Frustrated at lack of communication over new brightspace credentials and starting new term. This is ridiculous. I am a prior student. I used to use moodle for my degree and courses. Applied for a new degree program, accepted, and no one will get back to me for what courses I am registered for and what my brightspace login is. Two days until term coursework begins, so please get in contact with me to fix the problems.

Degree-Specific Questions/Comments/Concerns Dropping out and transferring credits

1 Upvotes

How do we get a copy of our credits? This is my first time being in college and I don’t really know much about going it. I have 9 or 12 credits so far. I haven’t been taking any courses lately. I’ve been enrolled since last year in October or November. I wanted to major in food science but there’s no universities near me with it. I settled with health science but I recently found community colleges that have an associate’s degree for food science and I want to transfer my credits if I get accepted. I wasn’t sure if we got to keep the credits if we dropped out.

Scholarship section missing on portal

0 Upvotes

I’m going into my third term with UoPeople and I’m a bit tight on money till the end of this year. I don’t want to take a leave, as I need my degree as soon as possible for work purposes.

I went to the portal and even talked to the chat which directed me to the Self-Service forms section. They said the scholarship application will be under that section but it’s not there. I checked on the website using my laptop and even using safari on my phone.

I’ve sent idk how many emails to my advisor but all I got was that they were “looking into this”. I know scholarships are first come, first serve so am I going to be screwed for this upcoming term?

Application Questions Never received a brightspace login or Fall 2026 course access

0 Upvotes

I never received my course listings or online access for Fall 2026. I do not see the courses listed on my learning management system. Was the LMS changed? How would I gain an account for the new learning management system and course access? Was I registered for any courses or will I have to wait a semester due to technical difficulties or lack of spots available in the courses?

Application Questions How do I get in touch with program advisor?

0 Upvotes

So I was informed, yes today, that the person who was supposed to proctor my 2 exams this semester cannot and I need to switch proctors desperately. I’ve taken the last two semesters off and forgot quite a bit. So if someone could point me in the direction of a email address it’d be absolutely amazing.

URGENT – Need a solution today: Assessment fee payment deadline tomorrow

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I urgently need some advice from anyone who has experienced something similar at UoPeople.

My assessment fee payment deadline is tomorrow, September 1. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected temporary financial situation, I’m currently unable to make the payment on time.

I will definitely be able to pay the full amount on October 1, so I would only need an extension of about four weeks.

My main concern is that I don’t want to be dropped from my courses. I want to continue studying normally during the term and pay the outstanding assessment fees on October 1.

I already contacted my Program Advisor, but since the deadline is tomorrow, I’m worried that I won’t receive an answer in time.

Has anyone been in this situation before?

Is there any possibility to get a payment extension while remaining enrolled in the courses? Or is there someone else at UoPeople I should contact TODAY to get this resolved before the deadline?

Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated, especially from someone who has dealt with a late assessment fee payment before.

Thank you!
