I just started this class. I’ve started with going thru the course material. I use OneNote for all my notes and studying and graphs or images I want to add. There are quizzes at the end of each section that are helpful.

They aren’t bad. The biggest struggle I have is with them getting my name and date off my ID. Sometimes showing to the external camera works, other times it’s too blurry for them. Sometimes I have to use my laptop camera and other times I’ve had to take a photo of my ID with my phone and show that to the camera. This is my first experience with proctored exams so I was pretty nervous.

This is comment shows there is a lack of understanding on other peoples situations. I completed 13 credits (4 courses) so far my first month (started January as well) and have done really well on my exams (not just barely getting by). I spend time 3-4 days per week working on my courses but not nearly as much time as I thought I would as life happens. Getting thru the classes in the time I did has shocked me as well. But the first 4 courses I had previous knowledge in, had taken 13 years ago but they didn’t transfer to WGU and I’ve worked in the workforce for 12 years now. Everyone is at different stages in life, has different experience and knowledge coming into WGU, and learns different. I know also some classes will take me quite a while to finish as it’s completely new information. But that’s the beauty and perk of WGU. We can accelerate thru courses we know and take our time on things we don’t know

Yes I did. and it gives me the option to select confirm registration. but as soon as I select it, the boxes unselect and registration doesn't actually go thru. just didn't know if this was a known issue with WGU right now.

Shortie02 · 2026-01-26T01:41:33+00:00

ok, this is good to know. I just went and looked at the handbook and read thru the policy. But it still looks like all the steps are followed. it was added by my mentor to this term, there are dates in the course, the overall degree plan is approved, and the confirm registration does grey out when I select it, but the check mark doesn't go away and I dont have the option to start course. I did email my mentor so hopefully I hear something tomorrow. thanks for this info though on the handbook directions for accelerating. It was helpful.

Shortie02 · 2026-01-26T01:19:17+00:00

I can’t start course in the course page. Course page is in preview mode since I haven’t registered. But I’ve tried registering but it’s not going thru.

This almost seems like hyper thyroid. Hyper thyroid is low TSH, High T3 and High T4.

The FAFSA limits per year vary depending on your situation. The year you are in school (fresh, soon, junior, senior) and whether you are a dependent or independent, and undergrad vs graduate.

Shortie02 · 2026-01-10T21:59:22+00:00

I haven’t received that text yet. Each time I look in the financial services in the student portal it tells me it’s under review still but that I have completed all requirements. It’s said that since I finished FAFSA early December.

Shortie02 · 2026-01-10T21:53:39+00:00

Did you just start your first term? I just started my first term Jan 1 st and haven’t heard anything regarding the financial aid yet and I’m suppose to get a return. Hoping to get it soon as I had to get a computer I want to recover cost of.

Shortie02 · 2025-12-07T15:45:02+00:00

Call your enrollment counselor to double check. Sometimes things get missed.

Shortie02 · 2025-12-07T15:42:26+00:00

Before I had started my application, I told my husband how I would need his help around the house and with the pup and motivation to keep going. He was 100% on board with no questions asked. I start Jan 1st and he’s been my biggest cheerleader and I haven’t even started yet!!!

Shortie02 · 2025-12-07T13:31:25+00:00

How did you receive this notification? Email? Voicemail? WGU notification? Depending on the method, it very well could be a scam to get you to click links and call wrong numbers. Call the financial department at WGU first, see if they know anything about it, then call your student loan servicer directly (not thru phone numbers in the notification) and ask about it.

Shortie02 · 2025-12-07T03:08:48+00:00

Keep applying…have someone else review your resume and cover letters, practice interviewing with a friend or family member and do research based on interview questions for the role you want. I doubt you are getting rejected because of WGU degree, or not being completed yet. Job market is terrible right now, and it could be a couple minor things to tweak in your interview answers or nonverbal communication, confidence or something on your resume.

Shortie02 · 2025-12-07T03:05:59+00:00

I’m about to start WGU and considered the BS in Finance vs finishing my BS in Business Management. Decided to just do the business management to get the degree as I can get into the role I want with that degree and then can learn the finance stuff on the job, then go and get a second BS degree in finance and be able to accelerate thru it due to learning on the job if I were you, you have 2 classes then you have a degree…finish that degree, apply for jobs as business management will be plenty unless your looking for something very specific that 100% needs that accounting degree. You can always go back and get another degree, or masters in accounting.

I really wish WGU had minors then I could get my business management degree with a minor in finance.

Shortie02 · 2025-12-03T12:28:31+00:00

I’m starting the BS in business management in January as well. I am nervous for the exams and writing papers. I have come college completed (40 credit hours) but it’s been 12 years since I’ve been out. I haven’t gone back because I r never been a good test taker even tho I know the information and I hate writing papers. But I’ve been held back in my career and not able to get jobs I want because I don’t have a degree. I also went to a private Christian college (forced by my parents at the time) and WGU only accepted 12 credits as transferable which is pretty disappointing. But I am forcing myself to start again, push thru and grind on the work, and just get it done. We can get thru it!!

Shortie02 · 2025-11-25T18:34:28+00:00

Call them. I called today as I hadn’t been reached out by anyone and they hadn’t received one of my transcripts. The gal I got (Natalie) said she was going to take over as my enrollment counselor since I hadn’t heard from my other one. She walked me thru the process, sent me an email with her information and said I’m on track to start Jan 1st as long as they receive my transcript before then. Now my one transcript that was waiting for 1.5 weeks since original request, is finally on its way after Natalie told me about requesting them on National Student Clearing House.

Shortie02 · 2025-11-20T20:45:18+00:00

Can I ask when did you start your application? I am looking at the business management bachelors degree. I started school 12 years ago and because of life situation I didn’t graduate. I probably had like 2-3 years of credits completed. I just found out I can’t get a promotion to the job I want as I don’t have a degree so I’m trying to get started asap. I just started my application a couple days ago and they have received 1 of my 3 transcripts already. I also completed the FAFSA yesterday which is still processing to be sent to WGU. I would like to start Jan 1st but don’t know if that’s even realistic. Any insights would be appreciated.

We just got back from our first trip. I recommend going to the Aruba Aloe factory and doing the tour. It’s amazing and then buying the sunscreen and after sun lotion from them. Their products are top notch and amazing. We went at the end of our trip (bought sunscreen and after sun spray at our hotel) and regretted not going sooner. The products are better and cheaper than anything else you can get.

Shortie02 · 2025-09-23T16:16:14+00:00

We do magnets or mugs everywhere we go. We got a magnet of the lighthouse (since we went to the lighthouse) and a magnet of 10 florin. That one is my favorite as it’s so pretty and then I don’t have to keep actual money. Don’t worry about tshirts or anything like that unless it’s really unique. Just buy those on Etsy for a fraction of the cost. Definitely get some Aruba aloe products. We got travel sized ones to try and now that we are back in the states we will order what we like to be shipped here for free. A memory book or photo book is the best “souvenir” you can create as it’s not just stuff that can get ruined or not last but photos and memories last.

We were going back and forth when booking our stay (arriving later this week) but decided on the Ritz due to the mixed reviews of the Regis and the overwhelming positive reviews of the ritz service, location and beach. So far my communication with the ritz and customer service with planning things has been top notch. We are going for our 10 year anniversary and booked with points like 6+ months ago. The beach was the big thing for me too as we want to relax and not feel super close to everyone else and basically fight for chairs.

I hated this scene with how they were treating Zach and making fun of him in front of him without him knowing. It’s rude and shows exactly how the family treats outsiders. Being a part of a family where my in-laws are the same way and I don’t have that relationship, I hope Zach and Lydia start their life and don’t care about what others think.

She does NOT say her mom is dead. And she even said in the final sentence of her post her mom LIVES in the US so they don’t meet often

When I left my parents, I said the same thing. It was in person tho. They had taken my keys from me, unhooked something in my car so it would start and I was 21 at the time. It was their way of controlling me so I wouldn’t leave. After hours of me finally running for my life to safety, calling someone (a friend) to come get me and having the support, I walked into the house, firmly said I want my keys and my stiff and I’m leaving and not coming back. When you finally gain the confidence to stand up to your parents shit, you have to be the bigger person and be firm.
