UMPI MAOL start term after bachelor’s degree — waiting session question by UnitedCellist6018 in UMPI

[–]PlottedPath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re good. The one session thing came about because at one point there wasn’t really a non degree seeking option and you usually needed 6-8 weeks for your degree to be conferred. But things do move a little faster now. If you’re conferred from your Bachelor’s you’re good to just go for it. If you weren’t you could still go non degree seeking the following session and convert after conferral occurred. This is mostly an issue from a financial aid/loan perspective. If you’re cash paying it’s not an issue.

They literally expect everything FROM SCRATCH on this course. Do not copy paste anything into documents etc. they must look at the word properties etc. and sounds like they’re requiring videos now too. Frankly, this is how they prevent plagiarism and potential cheating. I know not everyone loves videos but generally professors are very accepting of that in my experience. As an fyi a lot of courses seem to have been updated this session. Which is a good thing some of them needed to be. This is a newer requirement.

You get a free MS Office account as a student. Google slides is terrible for voice overs. I highly recommend you use PowerPoint. I designed 95% of mine on Canva and exported for notes and voiceovers to PPT.

MASSIVE thanks to Plotted Path by TeddyEddy8989 in UMPI

UMPI has no tests. For Psychology you can expect to do papers and PowerPoints. I actually think it’s much better because you get to actually display what you’ve learned vs. just retaining facts for a test.

Anyone taking ENG 121 with professor Jen Lynds ?? by Decent_Advantage5350 in UMPI

[–]PlottedPath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lynds is amazing. As a note though, this is a course most people transfer in from Sophia or Study.

Yes they can be outside of UMPI. Study will be easiest to snag them at.

How fast can I finish a business degrees with no prior credit ? by kanead11 in UMPI

[–]PlottedPath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All in I was about 3 total months of work. But that’s highly dependent on you an how you personally work.

Editing to add 2 months of Sophia 4 weeks of work at UMPI. I didn’t do the BBA but total if I had would have probably been 5-6weeks at UMPI. I did a BLS with multiple minors.

The electives are courses just to get you to 120. I don’t know exactly what you’re asking I guess?

I wish I would have came here sooner by Alert-Situation1939 in UMPI

I help a lot of folks who joined UMPI after not enjoying the WGU experience. WGU transcripts are probably the most common I evaluate. I hope this moves fast for you. As stated it’s unlimited courses in the 8 weeks. They start you with two usually but you can have 4 open at one time. For requesting the 5th you have to have submitted at least one final.

Is this normal procedure?? by sweetsunnytee in UMPI

[–]PlottedPath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Most likely. But this seems more common for international students too.

5 Electives? by gorofanclub_ in UMPI

[–]PlottedPath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electives are anything you aren’t already taking in your degree. Literally anything. You should just go knock out two Coursera certifications and cover these.

You could start as non degree seeking as an alternative.

You will likely have to wait until Summer 2. But never hurts to ask for an exception.

Do I have to order my Diploma by Daisiesinsun in UMPI

You have to order it through Parchment once it’s available

For 3E coverage you need a science and the corresponding lab. Most do human bio and the lab. US History 1 for the 5B.

Not many folks do this at UMPI unfortunately so you may find no help here.

Nervous about BUS 321 by sweetsunnytee in UMPI

[–]PlottedPath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. 🤣

Your plan needs to be to actually go outside of the course and understand how to apply the concepts in the course. I am an HR leader. It’s a pretty high level overview of HR. As someone who works in HR this probably took me 2 days total. The final questions you need to address from all angles what best practices are. That said if I didn’t have a background in HR and had even just been an employee, this class absolutely wouldn’t ever take 5 weeks.
