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.
Network and Systems Security is the study of how computer networks, devices, and data are protected from unauthorized access, misuse, and disruption. It covers the basic ideas behind security threats, encryption, authentication, firewalls, wireless security, and tools such as VPNs and intrusion detection systems. Students learn how these pieces work together to keep information and systems reliable and secure.
Network and Systems Security is a 3-credit course with a 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam grading structure. In a self-paced online format, students move through the material on network threats, encryption, authentication, firewalls, wireless security, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems before completing the required assessments. When the course is finished, the transcript reflects completed credit that Newlane University recognizes as Elective.
The topics in this course help students understand how networks and data are protected, which is useful in many settings where privacy, access control, and safe system use matter. At Newlane, the credit applies as an Elective, so it can support total credit hours in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy without being tied to a single major requirement.
After you complete the course, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies the credit as Elective. That means the course counts toward the total credit hours needed in the degree plan, including programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, but it does not carry a more specific course equivalency at Newlane. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is the 75% ceiling for a bachelor's pathway there, so this course should be considered within that overall limit. Because Newlane is competency-based and DEAC-accredited, transfer credit works alongside the credits you complete directly at Newlane.
This course is a practical fit for students who want to move credit into Newlane as an Elective while working toward a degree that allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the program. It can make sense for students who need flexible progress in a competency-based setting and want coursework that supports general degree completion at Newlane. It is less useful for someone looking for a direct major-specific replacement, since Newlane lists it only as Elective rather than a course match.
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.
