  UMPI AI Certification Requirements
Posted by: knaves - 01-12-2026, 12:57 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (3)

What AI requirements have the UMPI courses required students to complete lately?  The last time I was at UMPI was before the widespread rise of LLM programs, but the current system apparently requires the following for every milestone assignment (In addition to the assignment itself):

  • A 3 page certification detailing all usages of AI for research
  • All papers submitted as a shared google doc for edit history review
  • A separate google document of all AI prompts and output
  • The certification document also says it requires  submission of "handwritten notes based on the articles"- not sure if they're literally interpreting this as a photo of notes written by hand. 
Has this become the norm for online coursework?  I primarily teach in-person courses with objective exams so AI usage has not been as much of an issue for me lately, but this certainly seems much more detailed than anticipated.

  How does OTHM, QUALIFI & ATHE Credits appear in Transcript
Posted by: ZenD - 01-11-2026, 03:37 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Need a clarification from those who had completed British Degree Top-Up using Level 5 or 4 Diplomas from Qualifi, OTHM & ATHE.  

In the DEGREE TRANSCRIPT, how this Diplomas will be mapped out as a completed course. I mean what will be written in the column titled Module Name for year 1 and 2

Will be grateful if someone who already own a transcript cover this. Thank you.

Heart Need help deciding between TESU and WGU
Posted by: nmckenz1 - 01-10-2026, 09:57 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Hello, long time reader first time poster. I took the plunge and applied to both TESU and WGU. I am currently working as a software engineer for the last four years and am looking to get a bachelors degree in computer science to tick off a box. I am also considering transferring my undergrad to a masters program in either data science or computer science. I am torn between the BA of CS at TESU and the BS of CS at WGU. I have 25 credits that TESU will accept from community college, and I imagine WGU would take a similar amount of credits as well. I have taken around 8-9 Sophia courses as well. I have a couple questions that I am hoping you guys could help me with.

1. Which path would be faster, TESU or WGU for a CS degree.
2. Which path would be most likely to transfer to a masters program at a brick and mortar with some prestige. 
3. Is it possible to get a BA in CS and a BS in Data Science and Analytics at the same time from TESU.
4. Is it worth it for me to get my transcripts evaluated at both schools? I have only done TESU so far for the 25 CC credits not yet for the Sophia classes.

Looking to finish quickly as possible. Cost is not a factor.

What I have finished at Sophia:
Ancient Greek Philosophers
College Algebra
US Government
Introduction to Ethics
Human Biology
Environmental Science
US History I
The Essentials of Managing Conflict (Not sure this will go anywhere)

What I have satisfied by transfer from CC:
Written Communication I (3 credits): The first writing requirement is complete.
Diversity/Intercultural Literacy (3 credits): This civic/global leadership requirement is satisfied.
Social Sciences (3 credits): One of the social sciences courses required under Knowledge of Human Cultures is complete.
Humanities (3 credits): You have a humanities course fulfilled.
Social Sciences/History/Humanities Elective (3 of 6 credits completed): Half of this combined 6‑credit requirement is already covered.
Additional General Education Electives (6 credits): Two general‑education elective slots have been filled.
Area‑of‑Study Electives (4 credits): You have 4 credits applied toward the Computer Science area‑of‑study electives.
Free Electives (6 credits): An additional 6 credits count as free electives.

Thanks!

  Core complete from sophia credits?
Posted by: CocaCola - 01-10-2026, 05:58 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (4)

My goal is to attend East Texas A&M University, complete the 42-credit Texas Core Curriculum, and then transfer to Texas A&M. ETAMU accepts Sophia Learning credits, evaluates them, and transcribes them as ETAMU course equivalents (even if noted under a Sophia pathway). If all 42 Texas Core requirements are satisfied and applied to the correct core areas, would ETAMU certify me as Texas Core Complete on my transcript, even if many of the credits originated from Sophia Learning?

  Free in Brazil Until January 31, Universidade Santa Amaro Short Courses
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 01-10-2026, 03:41 AM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - No Replies

Until January 31 Universidade Santa Amaro is offering more than 400 short online courses free of charge. These appear to provide online certificates, no degree credit. Courses are in Brazilian Portuguese.

Registration asks for your Brazilian CPF national identification number. Foreigners outside Brazil can obtain a CPF number but it’ll be somewhat time-consuming, involving a scheduled visit to an embassy or consulate with a set of your documents.

Universidade Santa Amaro is abbreviated Unisa, unrelated to the Unisas in South Africa, South Australia, or Salerno.

  Easiest Cost Accounting Class

I'm going to need a Cost Accounting class to get into an MS in Accounting program but since it isn't an area of interest for me, I just want the easiest possible class for credit I can find. Does anyone have any recommendations?

  new here , any advice helps.
Posted by: intellect88 - 01-09-2026, 04:28 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (3)

Hello all -

Im 37 yo and I would like to get my bachelors degree bc I want to pursue a career in Law/Human Rights. I have about 30 college credits. I live in CA. I was at first considering doing the California Law Office Study Program or joining Northwestern California University School of Law (NWCU) because they accept students straight into their law school with an associates or CLEP exams. 


My question is: Is it more suitable and more desireable by other schools if I:
a) finish my bachelors degree online through a university that accepts clep.
   a.1.) what university is honorable and desireable by accrediated universities like IVY leagues for my masters that will accept my bachelors from   said online university.

b) do I do the california law office study program of NWCU program and if I want to get a masters later or do a program at an honorable school will they accept this? Because most of those programs say a 4 year bachelors degree is necessary. Would this still count?

Im so confused which direction to take. ANY advice and input helps please!!!

  Bachelors in health or science field
Posted by: talion - 01-09-2026, 04:12 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (3)

I'm wanting to apply to dosimetry masters and post-baccalaureate programs. I got a bachelors degree in psychology from TESU about 5 years ago. At the time it got me a promotion that made the cost and time of the degree worthwhile. 
  
Your Location: Ohio 
Your Age:32
What kind of degree do you want?: A BS in physical or biological science works, or a BA in physics, biology, or chemistry. 
Current Regional Accredited Credits - 116.5
Current ACE Credits - 68

I need to take some additional RA credits. These could be incorporated into a degree program or separate. 
Physics I and II
Biology I 
Precalculus or above (one semester)
Oral communication - I took an ACE public speaking class, but I'll need an RA one
Medical Terminology (I took this as part of my LPN, but it was mostly a clock hours program so I don't think it counts)
Radiation Physics - only required by one program, so I may skip if it's too costly or difficult to locate

The exact classes is listed at the bottom of the post, because it's a lot. Please let me know if there's a better way to format this, or if there's some way to put them behind a spoiler so they're not so gigantic. 

Any certifications or military experience?: I was an LPN until covid and was a CNA before that. No military experience.
Budget: $5000 would be ideal. I know that's asking a lot.
Commitments: I'm working full time, and intend to up until dosimetry training. 
Dedicated time to study: 20 hours a week comfortably, could do 30
Timeline: sooner the better
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: none
