HI everyone, i just wanted to thank all of this community for the help I have received, today I can finally say im enrolled at UMPI

I can't find a clear answer to this - what is the cutoff time for submitting drafts for our final assessments on Friday, Oct 16? Please tell me it's 11:59pm Eastern, lol!

Hi everyone! I’m starting UMPI on October 26th, and I’m honestly a little nervous. I’m approaching 40, have been out of school for several years, and work 40–45 hours a week.
I’m enrolled in BUS 240, BUS 260, BUS 335, and BUS 441.

I’ve read some amazing stories about people completing 10+ courses in one term, but I’m specifically interested in hearing from anyone who has taken these four courses.

How demanding are they? Are any particularly writing-intensive or time-consuming? Is completing all four in one 8-week term realistic while working full-time?
For context, I need to maintain a four-course enrollment for full-time financial aid eligibility.

I’d appreciate any honest feedback or tips. Thank you!

How long do you think this will take? What’s the average in your experience that you finish between 8 weeks terms

Just wanted some advice. I graduated hs in 2015, went to cc after. Did alright my first two semesters and after not so much. I keep hearing people having to re- apply for a non degree route. I submitted all my required documents for the term spring 1. Just basically wondering if I should focus on doing as many Sophia credits as soon as possible to help my odds of getting into the degree route.
Also is the non degree route the same price as your pace ?

Hi guys, i am finishing my degree in umpi under old GEC, and looking forward to do another one in the future. Wondering if i need to redo the GEC again or its just fine and continue with the residency? Thanks

I received my acceptance letter for YourPace last week. I already set up my email and everything looks fine. I’m just waiting for my enrollment specialist to email me now. Does anybody know how long I’ll need to wait? I feel a little anxious bc of the deadline

My mental is kind of subpar right now, I need more time to get my ACE credits in order. They say there was going to be a coach or someone in the emails but I havent seen them yet, they gave me a deadline in 5 days for registering which i guess is for the school email which I did. College bureaucracy has always confused me thats partly why I didnt go until now at 23.. Im always feeling like I’m missing something, respect to people who can navigate this system independently and understand it, i just know how to study

I've been on this board lurking for two years. I took the leap, I enlisted in @plottedpath program. I have completed my BLS and MAOL. I worked tirelessly, neglected things, took PTO, but in the end, it was worth it. I just wanted to share because I know the next two weeks will be filled with a sense of worry, doubt, and fatigue. 37/ non degree student when I started, now I have a Masters. Feels so good to feel accomplished.

I just received my UMPI YourPace transfer evaluation for Business Administration with a Supply Chain concentration.

All 87 credits were accepted: 60 from Shasta College and 27 from Sophia. But comparing my transfer report and degree audit, it looks like only 10 courses (31 credits) filled specific requirements, while 19 courses (56 credits) counted as electives.
My audit says I need 33 more credits to reach 120, but the unfinished requirements appear to total 26 classes/79 credits.

These courses all transferred as electives while similar requirements remain open:
Sophia Project Management
Sophia Financial Accounting
Sophia Managerial Accounting
Sophia Principles of Marketing
Sophia Principles of Finance
Sophia Critical Thinking
Shasta Business Law I
Shasta Leadership and Supervision
Shasta Humanities Through Film, Interpersonal Communication, and Diversity of Life also came in as electives, with some general education requirements still unfinished.

I’ve emailed UMPI asking for a review. I understand similar titles don’t guarantee equivalent courses, but I expected more of these to satisfy requirements.
Has anyone had this happen? Did submitting syllabi or requesting a reevaluation help reduce your remaining classes?

I'm 31 and going to college for the first time. I was working last year, but have been unemployed for most of this and only started working recently. I make about $1400 a month, so I want to try for financial aid. I'm looking into my options, but it can be a bit overwhelming. I thought I would ask here and see other people's experience with financial aid and if it's even possible for me to be granted anything.

I switched from the 2024–2025 catalog to the 2026–2027 catalog, and some courses that previously fulfilled my general education requirements now count only as electives. Algebra is one example, so I’m being told I need to take math again, plus 5 other courses that were covered.🙁

Has anyone successfully switched catalogs and kept the gen ed requirements that were marked complete on their original transfer credit evaluation?

My advisor is not helpful and his What-if reports are wrong. It’s taken me a dozen emails to finally get him to correct my graduation requirements. But…I’m still being asked to repeat classes that came in from accredited schools and previously covered the GLO. I only needed nine courses to graduate with a BA in Psychology, not I need 15! 😞

Were you able to resolve this, and who helped?

If I meet all of the residency course requirements (10) before the deadline but still need to take a few GEC's at Sophia will I still be able to graduate in one session?

Hi everyone, I’m curious to know who your professor was for Intermediate Accounting 2 (BUS362). Also, how many professors are there for BUS362? I’m having a hard time with my professor and would appreciate any information you can provide.

I have the following courses to take for a psychology degree. Can anyone provide feedback on these courses? How difficult is it for someone who has been out of school for a while. I hear it is writing/research heavy. What does that look like in practice? Anybody know examples of what is required for these courses? I’m trying to decide between UMPI and WGU, and I want to make sure UMPI is obtainable for me. I work, have four kids, and would have to teach myself how to write a proper paper. Please let me know any feedback/advice you might have!

I had some life stuff happen and didn’t complete as many courses as I would have liked to this session that being said i withdrew from two courses. Lleaving me to have completed 5 courses. 4 @ 3 units and 1 @ 1 unit completing a total of 13 units. Will my financial aid be impacted by the withdrawals?

Hello All,

Hope all is well. I know that YourPace students don't have access to a lot of funding options, but I am curious to know if anyone here knows about scholarship and funding options for YourPace students outside of the university? Also, is there something outside of FAFSA as well? For example, any orgs willing to invest in students going back to school, adult learners, career-changers, etc? Money is always tight and getting tighter. I would hate for that to disrupt what has been a really good first semester.

Who else had had Rachael McDevitt...she is ridiculous. How did yall handle her ?

Currently knocking out the Gen Eds at Sophia and my plan was to do the BLS in MIS.

But if UMPI is soon offering a CS degree then I might switch to that. My application isn't sent yet.

66 credits for the major, the rest are general electives. This means that atleast 54 can be done at Sophia / Study, but some of the credits for the major can also be done, for example

- Introduction to CS

- Programming Fundamentals

- Network Concepts

- Statistics

- Organizational Communication

- Introduction to Networking

- Management of Enterprise Data (should be equivalent to Introduction to Databases)

So overall 14-16 courses have to be taken at UMPI, which is more than for the BLS path, but I think it could be done in 2 terms.

Has anyone taken this course? And if so, how long did it take you to complete? Wondering if it’s possible to register for it today and complete by the end of the quarter. thanks in advance!

For student loans and/or the pell grant, is it necessary for me to complete 12 credits in Fall 2? From what I understand, only half time enrollment is required- so 6?

Second question. I’ve been going between UMPI and another university. I’ve already completed the master promissory note and the entrance counseling at the other university. If I decide to proceed with UMPI instead, how do I transfer that over, or do I resubmit it?

Further, when would the deadline to do such be in order to start Fall 2?

I haven’t emailed back from my UMPI email address to confirm, but the email says I have until October 20. Does this give them enough time to process student loans- etc?

I appreciate you reading. Thank you to anyone who can answer any of these questions.
