Estimate at a full-time pace of 30 credits a year (about 2.5 credits a month); Newlane is self-paced, so your own pace sets the real number. Newlane's tuition is $1,500 per degree however many credits you transfer, so UPI Study credits save you time, not tuition.
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 3-credit course with a simple grading structure: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. The course uses practical lessons on software, operating systems, hardware, databases, and the broader history of computing, so students build credit through steady work rather than one high-stakes task. When the transcript is issued, Newlane University recognizes the course as Elective credit.
The material is useful if you want a clearer understanding of the tools and systems you use every day, from word processing and presentation software to databases and operating systems. At Newlane, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where elective credit still counts toward the degree. It can also help students make more informed choices about technology in work and daily life.
After you complete the course, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies it as Elective credit. That means the course counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in your Newlane degree plan, rather than filling a specific major requirement. This can still be useful in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where electives help you move toward graduation. Keep in mind that Newlane accepts transfer credit up to 90 credits total, and no more than 75% of the degree may come from transfer.
This course fits students who want a practical computing overview and need a transferable elective that Newlane will accept as Elective credit. It is a good option for people finishing a degree, moving between schools, or building toward a Newlane program while keeping an eye on transfer limits, since Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits and up to 75% of a degree to come from transfer. It is not the best choice for students looking for a specialized programming or advanced computer science course.
Newlane University is DEAC-accredited and competency-based — you progress by demonstrating mastery. Tuition is a flat $1,500 per degree ($3,000 for a full bachelor's without an associate degree), and up to 75% of degree credit can come from transfer.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), study at your own pace with no deadlines, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
