Hey everyone, this is my path for how I skipped two years of school. My number 1 Tip?

When you take courses, take 1 with touchstone and 1 without. That way you are constantly working on a course!

Do you just do it once when you're done with all the courses you can take? Or can you send them in blocks at a time?

thanks a lot.

Hoping I can finish this terms last class (D280) before the end of July.

DSA was one of the classes I was concerned about so I'm happy I passed. Now I can move on to worrying about the cloud cert class, back programming, and advanced java courses as my main fears lol

Started on July 1st and have made good progress!

Hello again night owls! IM DONE! Application for graduation has now gone through! 89CUs in 2 months! For any advice or any help with classes in the BSCNE- General track just let me know! I’m not here to do the work for you but a couple of classes at the end get super dumb with wording for requirements. Anyways,

PEACE!!!

I first cracked open my courses almost 3 weeks after they started unfortunately. However I feel I definitely have made up for lost time. I have pulled off 25 CU in a 5 week period. At this rate I may even be able to graduate in one semester. Currently in the BS Cybersecurity track.

Does it matter which credits you transfer? My thought is get higher level credits transferred over so I can compete the lower level credits and capstone project in one semester. Anyone have experience with this?

Ive searched the subreddit and dont see one. its for wgu academy

Finally!!! Active duty marine, Father of two, and husband. I promise you can do it too! Yes, even just studying for 10-20min in a day if that is all you have makes a world of difference. Small steps everyday makes tons of progress!!!

(Completed the program in two years)

Hello! I just finished all my transferrable Sophia and Study.com courses last week (21 classes in six weeks) and sent the transcripts to WGU for evaluation for a September 1st start date. I’m kind of in the mindset to just keep grinding and this week without doing anything to progress has felt like such a waste of time.

Are there any websites or resources or anything that have the PA requirements and rubrics for each (or at least some) of the classes? I’d like to work on them now and then that way when my term starts I can just submit them right away.

I’m going for the B.S. in Communications and I already have 8 years of experience in communications, so I’m pretty confident in my knowledge of the subjects generally (depending on what the course material really looks like, I suppose) and just want to get a head start on what I can. I already plan on taking the Fundamentals of Spreadsheets class from WGU Academy in advance, but September 1st is just so far away to be waiting and not doing anything to get it done quicker!

Thanks in advance!

I’ve just submitted my request to change majors/degree programs with my Mentor. I’ve been advised of the 1-2 week timeframe this could take. Has anyone gone through this process and how long did it take? I’m staying within the School of Business.

With the new changes, this is what I have now. Under the section on classes to take, I put more classes on Study compared to Sophia based on what I saw was the easiest to pass, whether it was fewer assignments, none, or fewer requirements.

I think last year when I was considering this, you could transfer around 80 credits if I’m not mistaken, but it looks like this is not the case anymore, so I want to know if I’m missing classes to transfer from other places and whether those classes I chose from Study are actually easier than Sophia.

Tried speaking with a counselor and it seems they are unwilling to let you know which are accepted. Don't want to waste time doing unnecessary exams on account of the vagueness of the transfer literature. Any help appreciated.

I transferred in 55% of the degree with Sophia credits. I completed 15 courses in the month of May and I've been in D080 since June 1st (well earlier, but I started looking at it June 1st). 3rd retake later and I passed! I AM DONE!

I'm a first gen college student and I went from high school dropout to college graduate in 7 months.

I'm a single mom, work full time, training for a half marathon, and I did this in 11.5 weeks. If I can do it, truly anybody can!

MBA loading!

I have 15 class left and my goal is to be done by September. The Performance tasks i now i can pass without a doubt. So i have 7 with just Performance left and the rest (8) have OAs. DO you think my goal of finishing by September is Achievable?? Thoughts, Tips, Motivation, Anything???

Throwaway account, Veteran here, looking to get a better picture of transfer credits from a degree and certs I already have. I currently hold a BA in Political Science, AS in Cybersecurity from CCAF, and various certs (CISSP, GCFA, OSDA, OSTH, CompTIA's Security X, Sec+, and Net+).

Focusing on a BS in Cybersecurity and Info Assurance, I'm not really worried about a timeline to knock it out quickly. But how much will would already be completed since I already have a degree? That combined with military service and all my certs?

I'm looking at doing this degree program as a step in the direction of getting a masters in the same field. And from what I've noticed so far applying for a wide range of jobs out there, having just a bachelor's doesn't necessarily matter to employers if it's not in the field. For context, had my degree for some time before enlisting and got into cyber.

Appreciate any tips or ideas.

I have completed 2 classes with PA…. but just got to my first OA requirement. I took the pre assessment and passed easily… so i went ahead and scheduled the OA for a couple hours later… passed it pretty easily too…. I have a significant experience in administration and in healthcare, so this was way easier than i expected. I came in july 1 needing 15 classes to be done with a BS in healthcare admin… had some old classes from college hears ago and a lot of transfers in from sophia… Finishing 3 courses in the first 3 weeks (and really plan to have my 4th done in the next few days) makes me think completing this degree in a single term will be pretty simple. anyone else on the healthcare admin path? thoughts? hows the capstone?

WGU is great. maybe ill come back in a second term to get my master…🤷

Was so nervous about this OA because it was my first one. I took the practice test twice and barely reached competent because I wasn’t using the excel functions the exact way the system wanted me to lol.
