🎯 About Elective at Newlane
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Newlane University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Newlane degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Newlane degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my Newlane degree?
Newlane's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Newlane's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.

Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Newlane degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

About this course

Understanding Fundamentals of Information Technology for your Newlane credit.

What is Fundamentals of Information Technology?

Fundamentals of Information Technology is an introduction to how computer systems support business work. It covers the basic parts of information systems, hardware and software, data and databases, networks, security, and how IT helps organizations make decisions and run processes. The course gives students a broad view of how computers, data, and business needs fit together.

How the course teaches you

Fundamentals of Information Technology is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students are expected to show steady progress as they move through the material. After completion, the transcript credit can be sent to Newlane University, where it is recognized as Elective credit.

How it helps beyond the classroom

This course helps students understand how computers, data, and business processes connect, which is useful in many settings that value broad problem-solving skills. At Newlane, the credit applies as Elective toward programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where it can help build out total credit hours. For students working within Newlane's competency-based, transfer-friendly model, that elective space can support degree progress without needing a course tied to a single major requirement.

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies the credit as Elective. That means the course counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in a Newlane degree plan, rather than replacing a specific major course. This can be useful in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where elective space may help you keep moving. Newlane accepts up to 90 transfer credits, which is the ceiling to keep in mind when planning the rest of your degree.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical option for students who want to move credit toward Newlane while keeping their choices open, especially if they are working toward a degree with room for Elective credit. It can fit students who need a transfer-friendly course that counts within Newlane's limit of up to 90 transfer credits, or up to 75% of a bachelor's degree. It is not the best fit for someone who needs a direct major-specific requirement at Newlane, since this course transfers as Elective rather than a program requirement.
