Hi everyone!

I am planning on taking the IBM Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations Specialization course on Coursera to transfer in as BUS245 Programming for Managers for my BABA PM & IS at UMPI. Since the ACE credit recommendation expires on 1/31/2025, what do I need to have finished by that time for it to be accepted as expected by UMPI? Do I simply need to have completed the course by the 31st or do I have to have it listed on my Credly transcript by that date? (Note: I will not be accepted to UMPI until after the 31st.)

My stepdaughter is due to start the MS in Early Childhood Studies TEMPO program at Walden University on Monday, January 6. Her enrollment counselor told her that if she became a member of NAEYC, she would get 50% off tuition for the program. Due to this discount, the program is only 1895.00 USD per TEMPO term (12 weeks). This means that if a person accelerates quickly, they could potentionally early this Masters degree for only 1895.00 USD. Below is a link to the program:

MS in Early Childhood Studies

And here is the link to NAEYC's website:

**My stepdaughter did state that it will take a few weeks for the discount to be applied to your tuition account, as her enrollment counselor stated the discount is applied manually and after Walden verifies that you have joined NAEYC. And if you are enrolling and are not offered the discount, remind your enrollment counselor.**

It looks like a fair amount of new or revamped courses.  As a TESU BACS graduate who did a speed run to the finish line, I've going back and doing the IBM DevOps to fill in some gaps (TDD, CI/CD, Microservices, Containerized deployments, etc) that I need for work.  Looks like DevOps and Full Stack new upper level recommendations, plus there are other certs worth checking out so you can graduate with the skills you want (or just be like me and go back and fill in the gaps as you need - it is impossible to learn everything, but I feel like everyone is trying to do DevOps in the work world)

Hi there,
Greetings
I am a working adult with a tight budget, but would like to continue to pursue study. May I know if you can share your experience with me about which online schools are the most affordable?
1. Field - MBA/DBA or IT related (AI, Big data, Data Science)
2. Online school (either live sessions or pre-recorded videos)
3. Medium is in English language.
4. Okay to have private/own degree (or unaccredited degree, as long as the quality of the education is good and the educational institution can legally grant its degree to the students in its local country/state)

I got to know a lot about ENEB from this forum, however any other institutes besides ENEB?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

While I still haven't officially decided on UMPI, I applied and was approved and submitted all my transcripts prior to completing all the known transferrable courses, not realizing I should have waited. How difficult would it be to still take those course at Sophia/SDC to transfer them in.

I know I still need the following:

Spanish I - Sophia
Human Bio Lab - Sophia
Environmental Science - Sophia
Intro to Ethics/Ancient Greek Philosophers - Sophia

potentially a few other transferrable courses for picking up a minor for the fun of it.

I also have a handful of courses that have already been completed, but not on the transcripts that I sent; Straigherline, SDC and a few random ACE courses from other providers where it's taking forever to get added to my credly account.

Good evening,
Can someone share a snapshot of their transcript showing acceptance of 113 credits, or if you’ve already completed your program, could I see your final transcript? I’m trying to enroll with the maximum credits possible.

New thread for my own UMPI journey! 

I am planning to pursue a BA in Psychology and possibly a minor in business administration. Before I post my degree plan for feedback and suggestions, I am a bit confused on how the credits transfer for a minor. For example if I plan to transfer 90 credits for the BA psych major, I can still transfer in credits for the minor but they cannot be the same credits I would use towards my major, correct? 
I hope to enroll at UMPI in May after I finally complete my associates degree
