Savings estimate = credits × $475, DSU's undergraduate rate of $1,425 per 3-credit course (2026-2027 Academic Catalog). Under the articulation agreement DSU does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to DSU's registrar review and policy.
Introduction to Computing is a survey course that explains how computers and software work at a practical level. It covers the main kinds of software people use every day, how operating systems and file systems organize work, how hardware parts fit together, and how data is stored and managed in databases. It also introduces the history of computing and the social effects of new technologies.
Introduction to Computing is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, with quizzes and an assignment along the way and a final exam at the end. Your grade is weighted evenly across 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Once the course is complete and the transcript credit posts, Dunlap-Stone University recognizes it as TECH-106 – Intro to Computing.
The course covers word processing, presentation tools, databases, operating systems, and how hardware and networks fit together, which are the everyday tools most office and research roles expect you to handle. At DSU, the credit fits within the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, Bachelor of Business Administration, and Bachelor of Arts: Psychology programs as the general education or elective credit that Appendix 1 assigns to it. That gives you a practical technology foundation without adding an extra course to a degree plan that already has one.
After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your official transcript to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar then applies the credit as TECH-106 – Intro to Computing, a named course equivalency that maps to a specific course code in the DSU catalog, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition the university offers. Because the credit is tied to a catalog code, you can plan your remaining degree requirements around it as a DSU course. Transfer credit at DSU is limited to 90 credits, or 75%, so track your total transfer credits as you plan the rest of your degree.
This course suits students who want a DSU degree and would prefer not to pay DSU's $475 per-credit rate for a three-credit introductory computing course, which would otherwise cost $1,425 at that rate. Working adults, people returning to finish a degree, and career changers who need basic technology literacy are well matched to it. It is not a fit for anyone who needs a programming or hands-on lab course, because this is a survey of how software, hardware, and data work at a practical level. Keep in mind that transfer credit is capped at 90 credits, so any credit earned through transfer counts against that limit.
Dunlap-Stone University recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the DSU course, general education category or elective credit Appendix 1 assigns it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at DSU in good standing and meet course and program requirements. DSU is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Dunlap-Stone University.
