PCS - Permanent Change of School
How to Transfer Credits Effectively by Chris Johnson 20-Nov-2006 |
|
UMUC prides itself on its ability to pair academic integrity with accessibility to students across the globe. With over 20 undergraduate majors*** available and with a multitude of academic, administrative and career services, both online and in person, UMUC is committed to its mission of meeting "the educational needs of the nontraditional student." No where is this more true than on Okinawa. You can complete most of UMUC's degree programs 100% online or through a combination of online and in-class courses. And, on Okinawa, many programs can be completed entirely through in-class study. (Read more on continuing with UMUC.)
Even so, the US military is as highly diverse a society as it is transient. Often times, availability of programs, scheduling of classes, personal and environmental factors mandate the balancing of needs with wants. We understand this. But, as the Japanese poem says, "Shinai-koto to dekinai-koto wa chigau (What you don't do and what you can't do are not the same.)." In short, regardless of the field you want to pursue, you may not have to wait to return to the US to begin! Many students start taking courses and later transfer the credits for degree completion at another school. Though a "PCS," or "Permanent Change of School," can be unsettling, it doesn't have to mean starting over. By arming yourself with some basic knowledge and adhering to some sound transfer strategies, you can posit yourself on a straight line course toward degree completion before, during, and after the transfer. |

Writing Well with UMUC
Available Resources to Help! by Chris Johnson 26-Apr-2006 |
|
Writing. It's something most of us do every day. And, because writing is something we do everyday, most of us also believe that it is something we do "good enough." But, is it? Surveys and research suggest that not only is the average individual's writing ability not "good enough," it is just plain bad. Companies complain that workers lack the ability to communicate effectively. Schools gawk at the inability of students to present thoughts and ideas coherently. The evidence would indicate that we need help. UMUC has two resources available to assist you in stepping up your writing performance.

ATTENTION: MILITARY TUITION ASSISTANCE (TA) STUDENTS
Remember, it is your responsibility to get your tuition assistance (TA) approved by your service branch if you wish to use it to cover the tuition cost of a class. It is best to have your tuition assistance approved and submitted before the first class meeting. If you have not received approved tuition assistance and attend a class for which you registered, you may be personally liable for all tuition charges.
