From a UPI class to a DSU degree.

Colleges usually record UPI Study courses as transfer credit, as credit for prior learning (CPL), or as noncollegiate (alternative) credit. That is how colleges evaluate professional training reviewed by ACE or NCCRS, and UPI Study courses are reviewed the same way: every UPI Study course listed here carries an NCCRS credit recommendation, and some also carry an ACE credit recommendation. The DSU equivalent for each UPI Study course is listed on this page. Send your official UPI Study transcript to Dunlap-Stone University; DSU decides how each course counts, and the final decision is with the university.

DSU's 2026-2027 Academic Catalog caps transfer credit at 75% of an undergraduate program — 45 credit hours in an associate degree and 90 in a bachelor's — unless a partner or articulation agreement says otherwise. DSU's registrar decides how your UPI Study credits apply to your degree plan.

No. The articulation agreement says DSU will not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit.

Under the agreement, UPI Study sends official transcripts electronically, as a PDF, to registrar@dunlap-stone.edu when you complete a course.

No. 27 of the 68 courses in Appendix 1 map to a named DSU course code, such as Principles of Management to MGT-335 Modern Management Principles. The others count as a DSU general education category (for example General Education Technology or General Education Mathematics) or as elective credit (Business Elective, Psychology Elective or Elective).

DSU's catalog prices most undergraduate courses at $1,425 per 3-credit course ($475 per credit). UPI Study subscriptions start at $89/month for unlimited access to the full course library. Credit awards are always subject to DSU's registrar review.
