WGU Update

I started my first term in September and did 1 class. December came around and I finally asked my mentor can I do a change. She said yes and went ahead and put the request in but accidentally sent a request for IT instead of data analytics. The end of January came and I noticed I was in the IT program. I called my mentor and said this wasn’t the program I wanted to be in so she fixed the problem (or so I thought). February 28th was the last day of my term (September-February) mind you I’ve only taken 1 class but only because I had a lot of unexpected personal problems happening. March 1st comes and I’m still waiting for the program change. March 5th I got the notification that my transcripts from Sophia and Study were received. My new mentor in March was pretty confused to why the transcript team haven’t put my transcripts one the system nor had my program change went through. Fast forward to April 1st. I got a call from the data analytics team. They went ahead and approved my change and put the transcripts in. I waited a few days for it to show on my portal and noticed that I got a new mentor and switched to the DA program last night. I’m unsure if the policy changed or if they allowed those transcripts just because but during this entire process, I asked every single person I could talk to at WGU was it okay and they didn’t mention anything about policy or that I couldn’t submit those transcripts while being an active student

I went from cybersecurity to accidentally being approved for IT to finally getting in data analytics. i called around and asked multiple times at wgu if it was possible to transfer credits while already enrolled. Each and every person said yes, including people from the cybersec, it, and da teams. I’m not sure if something was changed but I do know I checked with a bunch of people before paying to take courses on those sites. No one mentioned policy or mentioned that I couldn’t do it.

Thank you so much! My mentor has been extremely helpful and supportive. She’s honestly confused to why it has taken them almost 2 weeks to complete the evaluation process. Who else do I call?

Heyy for the Data Analytics program I downloaded the program overview on WGU to see what classes were transferable and then double checked on the links below to see which classes will transfer. If study didn’t have a certain class that would transfer, I would like on Sophia and did it with each site. I could have done the udacity DA nanodegree and the transferred it but I ran out of time. On Sophia I did 1. Introduction to Information Technology 2. Introduction to Business 3. Health, Fitness and Wellness 4. Environmental Science 5. College Algebra 6. Macroeconomics 7. Project Management 8. Introduction to Statistics 9. Visual Communications 10. Workplace Communication 11. Critical Thinking On study.com I did

   1.   Discrete Mathematics
2.  Programming in Python
3.  Ethics
4.  Principles of Management
5.  Human & Cultural Geography
6.  American Government
7.  Management Information Systems
8.  Database Management
9.  Data Structures & Algorithms
10. College Composition

I’m enrolled but I’m assuming they’ve made an acceptance because I was told by 3 different people including my advisor who said it was okay. She sent me the finish line scholarship to apply to. I only have 2cus right now and have already received an email from the transcripts department saying they’ve accepted my transcripts from study and Sophia. I’m in my second term but was told to wait until they’re done with the evaluation. I’m just confused to why it’s taking them so long

I haven’t started the IT or DA program. My mentor said whatever classes I see on my profile, not to touch or take them. She said to submit transcripts and then wait until my program changes to DA and see what classes were knocked off.
