I registered specifically to answer your question, dude 
I’ve been at UMGC for a bit now while working full-time, so here’s the real deal:
The flexibility is unbeatable — no set login times, weekly deadlines instead of daily ones, and most assignments are structured so you can plan around work. That’s honestly the main reason people choose it.
Professors vary though. Some are really responsive and give solid feedback, others are more hands-off. But overall if you’re disciplined and good at managing your time, the system works pretty well.
I’ve been studying at UMGC while juggling a full-time job and honestly, it’s working better than I expected. The online setup offers total flexibility and I just log in when it suits me, work through the weekly modules, and submit assignments by the deadline.
The workload isn’t crazy, but you do need to stay organized because nobody is really reminding you every day. If you fall behind a week or two, catching up can be rough.

Hey, I’m looking into UMGC too, and just a heads-up — it’s super flexible, but that can bite you when profs are kinda… MIA sometimes.
For example, I saw a few students mention that some instructors reply quickly while others take days to answer emails or forum questions. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re someone who likes a lot of direct guidance. Overall though most people seem to like it for the flexibility.
