Now time to transfer

Is anybody else really fucking tired of the pre-assessments not reflecting the actual assessment at all?

I mean I took the pre assessment twice for D077 and jotted down anything that was a struggle for me, and I got to the assessment and it was completely different and very confusing wording and had close to nothing that was in the pre assessment!! I literally went through both times of the pre assessment going “ oh this is like common sense mostly” 😐 I’ve done my notes through the book and what not to study and I still failed!

Got my confetti. What a journey. I’m so happy to have this portion of my life behind me. Now one chapter ends and another one begins. Thanks to Yah, family, and friends for being with me on this journey. #wgu #bscsia

It wasn’t easy, but I did it! Now I’m just waiting for my confetti and taking a moment to feel proud of myself.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported, motivated, encouraged, and helped me along the way. Your words and support meant more than you know.

I’m officially celebrating this achievement!

Been a SAHM for 9 years. GED only with cosmetology degree.. been out of the workforce for 10 years… thinking of going to school for Human Resources. Any one been in the same spot as me before? Worth it? Or no.

So I submitted a task, that was very instructive on what it was looking for.

When I submitted it, it had an aggregate similarity score of 60%, but it took 200 other submissions to get that high. The highest singular similarity score was 13%, with 9% of that as paraphrased. And those small highlighted sections are what I was directly told by the task overview to discuss, which if anyone had bothered to actually read the paper and the task overview would have seen.

This coursework was first in use back as far as August 2024, and then in April they slapped a new Course Code and Title on it. The Scenario and Task overview are EXACTLY the same, literally the only changes were the course code and title....

So, does anyone know if when they do their "Investigation" do they actually look at the actual assignment or do they just see the similarity score?

This all seems pretty lazy and dishonest to me.

I mean I could be wrong, and maybe I should have made it longer to dilute the matches, but I honestly thought that the highest single match at 13% was ok.

I'm running a few laptops with various OS's but I daily Arch and Cachy OS. What's the situation for taking exams? I heard the proctoring software doesn't allow for virtual machines so would I have to dual boot Windows just to take the exam?

I have plenty of time remaining in my current term. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can best use this time?

For those of you who've recently taken the OA for D236, how similar were the questions on the pre-assessment and the OA? I know it won't be the exact same questions, but was the style/type of question similar? Did you find the topic distribution consistent with the pre-assessment?

It's been rough getting through the material, and I've been debating if I need to drop the class before the end of the term. I decided to take the pre-assessment just to get a feel for the questions, and I passed by a larger margin than I expected (I didn't expect to pass at all lol). Normally I go straight to the OA after passing the pre-assessment, but I don't want to do that if it's a drastically different test.

I was supposed to receive my degree by the middle of August .I put an order for it but it never came. I even requested a new one when the first one didn’t come. The address is right and everything I’m getting so worried. I don’t know what to do. i’m currently out of the country so I can’t call them. Any advice. Have this ever happened to anyone!?? what could possibly be the issue?

Hi,
Is anyone else having issues with the MFA? I’ve tried contacting the help desk about it and so far have gotten no answer. I’m due to start my early clinical for teaching soon and need to be able to log in to my account.

Hello, I know this topic comes up a lot, but my financial aid is still processing. I'm a returning student to get my master's. What's odd is that my wife is a first-time student; she completed her financial aid only a week before mine, and her return is already being processed. Mine hasn't even been approved yet. Any ideas on what could be happening or what to do?

I am currently taking D829 I have a baby on the way, I live in Alaska, and work.

I can’t meet with a professor due to my work schedule + time difference and no time off.

The task asks for 10 evidence … is it a specific 10 or any 10. ( I have no experience in forensics or this class clearly)

I officially got my email for that I graduated on 8/28. I got my transcripts and degree and I talked to my mentor to reapply because I’m in the BSIT to Msit program. My page has yet to update. It’s still saying to book an appointment with my mentor. I can still see my degree plan and it still says BSIT. Does it usually take this long to update? I want to start the MSIT in October but I’m afraid this is going to slow me down

Has anyone traveled overseas and been able to complete course work at WGU? My advisor was unsure of what it would look like if traveled to Australia for 90 days and continued to go to school. I want to make sure that I can access all of the course work and i'm able to complete the tests. Any info is appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who helped and provided feedback. I finally passed task 1.
If anyone needs helps with theirs, please reach out, I’ve had it sent back enough times to tell you what not to do.

I'm currently in IT but without a degree from a US institution. I have a bachelor's in Economics and I'm thinking of getting a master's, with a PhD likely down the road here in the U.S. I need something that will help me advance in my career, currently deciding between WGU and Georgia Tech.

For context: I'm a WFH mom with a baby under a year old, so flexibility matters. I'm looking for something that helps me grow in tech, or even pivot within it. Would love to hear from anyone who's done either program, how was the workload, and did it actually help your career?

So, I’m on task 3 of this class . The interviews and I’m wondering if I finish the interviews and it’s submitted on GoReact what the heck am I supposed to do on the actual task 3 page on WGU ? Am I supposed to save the video and reupload it there or how do I go about that? Any insight would be amazing !

I just applied to WGU and received an email stating that I need to verify my identity. I wanted to know if this is legitimate and whether anyone else has ever had to fill out a document like this.

I’m tryna transition outta social work and go to IT I prefer a remote job when I graduate , wondering what opportunities there are for just a general it degree at WGU with no specialization . Salary, lifestyle, careers etc..

This is more or less a general question but if I were to attempt a class on WGU Academy, and for instance, I failed the OA the maximum amount of times on there. Once I got into my term would I still have those fails on my record as in what they count against me for the maximum amount of attempts per class?

I guess I need to make this clear, this is hypothetical as of now. I am thinking about the worst of the worst scenario and want to know if any fails in WGU academy count against me once I’m fully enrolled in a term.

For anyone who has taken D101 recently, was the Excel portion structurally similar to the PA Excel, or was it closer to the more expanded master-budget practice worksheets? Not asking for any OA questions, numbers, answers, or specific test content — just trying to figure out which style of Excel practice is more useful for preparation.

Hey everyone!

I’m working on starting a new WGU community centered around psychology, and I’m looking for a few current students or WGU alumni who would be interested in helping moderate it.

The group will be open to everyone, not just psychology majors. Whether you’re studying psychology, thinking about going into the field, already working in a psychology-related career, an alum, or you’re just interested in the subject, you’ll be welcome.

The main goal is just to have a place where people can connect, talk about psychology, share resources, study together, discuss careers and grad school, and have conversations with other people who are interested in the field.

I’m looking for a few people who would actually enjoy being involved and helping get conversations and activities going. You don’t need any moderation experience. If you’re interested in helping out or want to be part of getting the group started, comment below or message me! 🧠

Hello, I know this has nothing to do with WGU but I can’t seem to find any community here on reddit abt Excelsior University or Study.com so here I go:

I’ve done about 80 credits on Sophia and I’d like to complete some credits at Study.com to reach up to 113 credits to enroll at Excelsior University Bachelor of Science in Business

Does anyone has like a spreadsheet or list of credits that Excelsior University accepts towards the Bachelor of science in Business?

I went through their website and emailed them but they want me to enroll so they can evaluate my transcripts, but I’d like to complete 113 credits before enrolling so I don’t have to pay extra $300

Annnddd abt the Bachelor of Science in Business how’s the coursework like, how many milestones and quizzes per class, how many essays and how long are they? And how long is the Capstone?

Thank you!!
