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 Networking is a course about how computers and other devices connect, communicate, and share data. It covers the basic ideas behind networks such as LANs, WANs, WLANs, and VPNs, along with the standards and protocols that let information move reliably across them. You also learn how the Internet works at a basic level, including IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the OSI and TCP/IP models.
Introduction to Networking is a 3-credit course with a 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam grade structure. The course covers the basics of LANs, WANs, WLANs, VPNs, IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the OSI and TCP/IP models, so the transcript reflects completed study in a format Newlane recognizes as Elective credit. At Newlane, that Elective recognition can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.
This course gives you a working understanding of how networks and the Internet move information, which is useful when you need to make sense of everyday technology, digital communication, or basic security terms. At Newlane, the credit does not apply as a major-specific requirement here; it is recognized as Elective credit, so it can help fill out total credit hours in a program like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.
After you complete the course, the transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane's registrar applies the credit as Elective, which means it counts toward overall degree progress and elective requirements rather than replacing a specific required course. This can be useful in degree plans such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where elective space may help you move forward. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the degree, so this course is one part of the total transfer picture.
This course is a practical choice for students who want to bring in transferable credit at Newlane without waiting for a program-specific match, since it is recognized there as Elective. It can fit adult learners, students finishing a degree, or people changing direction who want to stay within Newlane's transfer limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of the degree. It is not the best fit for someone who needs a required course in a specific Newlane major, because this transfer comes in as Elective rather than a direct major requirement.
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), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
