Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you finish, your transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint University applies the course as PSY-101 – Introduction to Psychology under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. That named recognition means the course is mapped to a specific catalog course, so it can slot into a CrestPoint degree plan as an established psychology requirement rather than as an unspecified transfer. CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree, so this course is one part of that overall limit. CrestPoint also accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, but this course has its own assigned CrestPoint course equivalent.

Who this course is for

This course is a good option for students who want a direct transfer path to CrestPoint and need a named course equivalency rather than an elective-only result. It can work well for students who are balancing school with other responsibilities and want to use one course toward the 72-credit transfer limit at CrestPoint. It is not the best fit for someone who needs a different psychology course title or a transfer destination that does not offer a PSY-101 – Introduction to Psychology match.
