Savings estimate = credits × $325, CrestPoint's published undergraduate per-credit rate (crestpoint.edu/Tuition). CrestPoint accepts up to 72 general education transfer credits and requires a grade of C- or better. Credit awards are subject to CrestPoint's registrar review and policy.
Intro to Biology 1 is an introduction to how living things are built, how they work, and how scientists study them. It covers the basic chemistry of life, cells, energy use, genetics, and the processes that allow organisms to grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment.
Intro to Biology 1 is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students can see exactly how each part affects the result. When the course is completed and the transcript is issued, CrestPoint University recognizes it as SCI-102 – Introduction to Life Processes, which is a named course equivalency in the CrestPoint catalog.
The course gives students a working understanding of cells, genetics, energy use, and how scientists test ideas, which is useful in any setting that asks for careful reading, evidence-based judgment, and basic scientific literacy. At CrestPoint, that credit can fit into degree planning for programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where students may need room in the schedule for major coursework and electives.
After you finish Intro to Biology 1, the transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint applies the credit as SCI-102 – Introduction to Life Processes. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps to a specific CrestPoint course code rather than being treated as an unspecified elective. That can help the credit fit more cleanly into a CrestPoint degree plan, including programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies or Bachelor of Business Administration. CrestPoint also allows up to 72 transfer credits, so students should keep the overall transfer limit in mind as they plan the rest of their coursework.
This course is a practical option for students who want to move credit toward CrestPoint with a clear named recognition: SCI-102 – Introduction to Life Processes. It can suit students trying to stay within CrestPoint's transfer ceiling of up to 72 credits, especially if they are building toward a degree plan and want a course with a specific catalog match. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a different subject area or who is looking for more than one biology credit to cover a broader science requirement.
CrestPoint University accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP. Under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study, each course below has an assigned CrestPoint course equivalent.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at CrestPoint in good standing and meet course and program requirements. Final credit awards are determined solely by CrestPoint University's registrar.
