🎯 About Technology Elective at Nexford
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Nexford University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Nexford degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Nexford 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 Nexford degree?
Nexford'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 Nexford's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Programming in C++ for Nexford electives even though it's a computer science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Programming in C++ as elective credit at Nexford, regardless of subject area. Nexford accepts transfer credit across disciplines as long as the credit comes from an approved provider with NCCRS or ACE recommendations.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Nexford?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). Nexford doesn't impose a separate elective cap beyond that, so you can stack multiple UPI Study elective courses as long as they fit within total transfer maximum and your program's elective requirement.
Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Nexford 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.

How does the transcript reach Nexford?
Once you complete Programming in C++, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Nexford University. Nexford's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (Technology Elective) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Programming in C++ for your Nexford credit.

What is Programming in C++?

Programming in C++ is an introduction to how computers follow instructions and how programmers write those instructions in C++. The course covers the basics of programming logic, algorithms, data types, control structures, loops, arrays, strings, and object-oriented programming concepts. It is a good starting point for understanding how software is built and how code is organized to solve problems.

How the course teaches you

Programming in C++ is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction supported by quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam. As you complete the work, the course builds the transcript record that Nexford University can review for transfer. At Nexford, it is recognized as a Technology Elective, so the credit applies as elective coursework rather than a direct major requirement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a structured way to understand how software is built, which can help in roles that value basic programming literacy and problem-solving. At Nexford, that learning can still move you forward even when it lands as a Technology Elective in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration. It is useful when you want credit that supports degree progress while keeping your plan flexible.

Skills you walk away with

Writing variables, expressions, and arithmetic operationsUsing IF, ELSE, SWITCH, and loop structuresCreating pseudocode for algorithm planningWorking with arrays, vectors, and stringsApplying object-oriented programming with classesUnderstanding inheritance and polymorphismReading basic pointer and memory management concepts

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review so Nexford University can evaluate it through its free, no-obligation transfer credit process. Nexford’s registrar applies the credit as a Technology Elective, which means it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan. That matters because the course can support progress in programs like the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration without exceeding Nexford’s transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. Nexford is DEAC-accredited, and its flexible transfer policy is designed to let eligible credits fit into the degree structure where they are accepted.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students who want to bring completed C++ coursework into a Nexford degree plan and use it as a Technology Elective. It may fit working adults, students finishing a degree, or people changing fields who want transfer credit toward Nexford’s 75% transfer limit, which can total up to 90 credits. It is not the best fit if you need a course that transfers as a required major course rather than an elective.
