I just wanted to mention it here that the SAS Advanced Programmer certification on Coursera has expired on the ACE website as of 04/30/25, just in case someone was going to do it for UL credit for the BACS at TESU.

My son is currently speed running 3 courses on Coursera before they expire on 06/30/25:

-IBM Data analysis and visualization foundation specialization
-IBM Intro to data science
-IBM Data analysis with Python and SQL

I offered to buy him Deltarune for the Switch 2 if he can do it before the deadline. It's amazing what a little bit of an incentive can do for motivation....

Are these enough to max out the credits before transfer ?

Anyone here use similar options to Buy Me a Coffee, Patreon?  I want to use something similar to these two.  And for purchase payments, I only use PayPal for now, but I know there are alternatives, such as the ones like Amazon, Apple, Google, Square, Stripe... What do you use for quick transfers, such as for donations, payments, etc?  

For now, I like PayPal as I don't have to keep entering my MasterCard or Visa details for purchases, it's safer in one spot than purchasing from each and every online store I visit.  That's just me, I set things up differently.  Are there better ways to go around things, yes, but I haven't found an easier option yet, maybe another alternative to Paypal...

Been thinking of creating audio/info books on Amazon and self publishing...
Just fishing for options right now, haven't set anything in stone, just yet... 

I feel like setting up a page for Buy Me a Coffee: How to set up your Buy Me a Coffee page? | Knowledge Base | Buy Me a Coffee
I also feel like setting up a page for Patreon too: Get started as a creator on Patreon – Patreon Help Center

Apparently UMPI has two graduate programs now the MAOL and the second one is a grad cert: https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/academic_p...grad-cert/

Anyone know anything about this?? I don't see what courses are required or anything? How long has this been around?

Also unreleated but that is the difference in requirments between a BA Accounting and BBA Accounting?

Specifically, if a student receives grades such as 3.8/4 (Exceeds Proficiency), 3.9/4 (Exceeds Proficiency), and 4/4 (Exceeds Proficiency), would these grades be averaged to a 3.9? Or, based on the policy, would the GPA still be a 4.0, assuming grades of 3.8 and above result in an A/A+?

I obtained an Associate Degree from Pierpont via one letter grade from Clackamas, and the rest of the credits being Sophia Ace Credits. I plan on earning the Psych Degree from UMPI. I'll be transferring as many credits as I can from Sophia.org and Study.com. Do you have any recommendations for the most affordable and reputable BCBA Master’s Programs that will accept my Undergraduate Degree/Sophia & Study.com credits, after I finish the Psych BA? I'm looking for the most affordable option, though reputable would be nice as well. I've been super worried about people willing to accept me into a program because I earned quite a few credits via Sophia, I've been informed before it won't matter via others on the forum, I still worry/ have heard some programs wont take the Sophia credits.. 

One other quick question, if anyone doesn’t mind: My account was hacked around the time I graduated from Pierpont. Although I did graduate, I no longer have access to my student ID or login information and don’t remember my credentials. If I want to transcript from Pierpont for credits at UMPI, will I have any issues, how would I go about obtaining the transcripts? I’m assuming UMPI has my DL/ID on records, but I’m unsure how to obtain that information or proceed.

I appreciate any suggestion or help you can provide, thanks.

1. If you previously registered for a Study.com account but never upgraded to a membership, or if you once subscribed and now want to return to study, it's best to register a new account with a different email. Otherwise, you'll still be limited to taking only 2 exams per month.
 
2. Once you complete a course, the system will automatically transfer the credits to the target university you specified during registration. In this case, you won't be eligible for a refund.
 
3. If you encounter issues and need to contact the Support Team, please be mentally prepared to be patient. It may take a long time to receive a response—even a week or half a month.
 
Don't ask me why I know so much. Right now, I'm hiding in the corner crying alone.
