Savings estimate compares Post University's $629/credit online undergraduate rate against UPI Study course pricing. Post requires a 73% grade to accept a UPI course; UPI credit applies to General Education requirements only (not Major, Core, Concentration, or Minor). Maximum UPI transfer: 15 credits into an associate's, 30 into a bachelor's. Final credit awards are determined solely by Post University's registrar.
Introduction to Linux is a course about how the Linux operating system works, where it came from, and how people use it on computers, servers, and virtual machines. It covers both the ideas behind Linux, such as its history and open-source community, and the practical tasks involved in using it, like working with files, managing software, and using the command line.
The course is organized around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split as 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. For students transferring to Post University, completing the course and earning a qualifying grade creates transcripted credit that Post can review for CIS 1XX – CIS Elective, an elective equivalency.
Linux knowledge is useful in settings where people work with computers, servers, and virtual machines, and it gives students a practical base for command-line work, file management, and user permissions. At Post, the credit applies as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective, which can support degree planning in programs such as Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science by helping satisfy elective requirements.
After you finish the course, the transcript is the document Post University uses to evaluate the credit. Post's registrar applies the course as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective when the grade requirement is met, and that gives you elective credit rather than a direct major course match. In practical terms, the course can help you move through an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science plan by contributing to the elective portion of the degree. Keep the transfer ceiling in mind: Post accepts up to 30 credits, which is 25% of the program.
This course is a reasonable fit for students who want elective credit at Post while building exposure to Linux for future study or work in computing-related fields. It may suit degree completers, working adults, or students comparing transfer options, especially since Post recognizes it as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective and allows up to 30 transfer credits, or 25% of the program. It is not a good match for someone who needs a guaranteed major-specific course replacement at Post, because this transfer comes in as an elective.
Post University is NECHE-accredited and accepts UPI Study's ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses for General Education transfer credit. A 73% (C) grade or better is required for a course to 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 Post University.
