Frequently asked questions

Everything about Physics I → Post.

📚 About Physics I
What is Physics I?
Physics I is a college-level STEM course building quantitative and analytical skills. It is Physics 200 — worth 3 credit hours, carrying ACE and NCCRS recommendations from ACE & NCCRS.
Is this course difficult?
The course is designed to be challenging but accessible. It is self-paced, so you can take the time you need on more difficult concepts. Most students complete it in 28–30 days with consistent effort.
Is this course self-paced?
Yes. The course is fully self-paced with no deadlines or fixed class times. Most students complete it in 28–30 days, but you can move faster or slower depending on your schedule.
How many college credits is this course worth?
This course carries ACE and NCCRS recommendations for 3 semester credit hours. UPI Study courses follow the same evaluation standard used across thousands of colleges and universities.
Are there exams? How is grading done?
Yes — the course includes quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is equally weighted: 20% Quizzes · 30% Assignments · 50% Final Exam.
How do I check if my university accepts UPI Study credits?
Check our Find My College directory . If your university recognizes ACE & NCCRS credit recommendations, UPI Study courses qualify. You can also book a free call with our team.
How does UPI Study compare to a traditional university course?
A traditional university course in this subject typically costs $500–$1,500+ per credit hour and requires fixed schedules, campus attendance, and semester timelines. UPI Study covers the same ACE & NCCRS-recommended content at $250 total , with no deadlines and no campus requirement.
Can international students take this course?
Yes. UPI Study courses carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About PHY 115 – Physics I at Post
Does Post University accept Physics I as a direct equivalent to their PHY 115 – Physics I?
Yes. Under the published transfer agreement between UPI Study and Post University, UPI Study's Physics I is recognized as a direct named equivalent of Post's PHY 115 – Physics I — not just elective or GE bucket credit. This is the strongest form of transfer recognition.
Will this transfer with full named-course credit, or just as elective?
Full named-course credit. The MOU specifically lists Physics I as transferring as PHY 115 – Physics I — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your Post transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken PHY 115 – Physics I at Post or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for PHY 115 – Physics I, Post typically applies UPI Study's Physics I as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your Post advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking PHY 115 – Physics I directly at Post?
The credit value is identical: 3 credits toward your Post degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), while Post's subscription is $39/month — but UPI Study lets you finish faster and start without Post enrollment. Many students complete UPI Study courses BEFORE enrolling at Post to reduce overall program time.
Does Post University ever change which courses they accept as PHY 115 – Physics I?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current published transfer agreement between UPI Study and Post University explicitly lists Physics I → PHY 115 – Physics I. We update this page whenever the agreement changes. If you've already completed the course and earned an NCCRS-recommended transcript, your credit recognition is generally honored even if future versions of the agreement change.
🔄 About transferring to Post
How many UPI Study courses can I stack toward my Post degree?
Post University accepts up to 25% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 30 credits for the bachelor's degree. 68 UPI Study courses are recognized by Post under the Articulation Agreement, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at Post.
Do I need to enroll at Post first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no Post enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to Post when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach Post?
Once you complete Physics I, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Post University. Post's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (PHY 115 – Physics I) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Physics I for your Post credit.

What is Physics I?

Physics I is an introduction to the basic laws that describe how objects move and interact. It covers measurement, vectors, motion, forces, work, and energy, so you learn how to use math to explain everyday physical situations such as a falling object, a car speeding up, or a ball thrown through the air.

How the course teaches you

Physics I is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade comes from 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so the work is spread across the course rather than relying on one test. When you finish with a 73% (C) or better, the transcript can be used by Post University to recognize the course as PHY 115 – Physics I.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a practical way to work with motion, forces, energy, and vectors, which are useful in everyday problem-solving and in technical coursework. At Post, that credit can sit inside degree paths such as an Associate of Science or a Bachelor of Science, where PHY 115 – Physics I may support progress through the program. It can also help you move forward without repeating material you have already completed.

Skills you walk away with

Use units and conversions accuratelyWork with vectors in physics problemsCalculate displacement, velocity, and accelerationAnalyze motion in one, two, and three dimensionsApply Newton’s laws to force-and-motion situationsSolve work, kinetic energy, and power problemsInterpret data and basic experimental results

Taking this course toward Post

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent so Post University can review it as a transfer partner of UPI Study. Post's registrar applies the named equivalency PHY 115 – Physics I, which means the course is matched to a specific catalog course rather than treated only as broad elective credit. That kind of recognition is useful because it can fit directly into a Post degree plan, including programs such as an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Even so, Post limits transfer credit to 30 credits, or 25%, so this course is one part of the total you can bring in.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who need a physics requirement to transfer to Post and want the credit to appear as PHY 115 – Physics I rather than as a general elective. It is especially relevant for people trying to stay within Post's transfer ceiling of 30 credits, or 25%, while building a degree plan around an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is not the right choice if you need a course that transfers with a grade below 73% (C), or if you are looking for a non-physics subject.
