Frequently asked questions

Everything about Programming in C++ → Post.

📚 About Programming in C++
What is Programming in C++?
Programming in C++ is a hands-on college-level programming course. It is Computer Science 242 — worth 3 credit hours, carrying an NCCRS recommendation.
Do I need prior programming experience?
No prior experience is required. The course is designed to take you from fundamentals to practical competency, with structured lessons and exercises that build your skills step by step.
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 an NCCRS recommendation for 3 semester credit hours in Computer Science, Electrical, or Computer Engineering. 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, an assignment, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted as follows: 20% Quizzes · 30% Assignment · 50% Final Exam. A score of 70 or above is required to pass.
How do I check if my university accepts UPI Study credits?
Check our Find My College directory . If your university recognizes NCCRS or ACE 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 NCCRS-recommended content at $250 total , with no deadlines and no campus requirement.
Can international students take this course?
Yes. UPI Study courses carry an NCCRS recommendation — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About CIS 240 – Programming in C++ at Post
Does Post University accept Programming in C++ as a direct equivalent to their CIS 240 – Programming in C++?
Yes. Under the published transfer agreement between UPI Study and Post University, UPI Study's Programming in C++ is recognized as a direct named equivalent of Post's CIS 240 – Programming in C++ — 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 Programming in C++ as transferring as CIS 240 – Programming in C++ — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your Post transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken CIS 240 – Programming in C++ at Post or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for CIS 240 – Programming in C++, Post typically applies UPI Study's Programming in C++ 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 CIS 240 – Programming in C++ 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 CIS 240 – Programming in C++?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current published transfer agreement between UPI Study and Post University explicitly lists Programming in C++ → CIS 240 – Programming in C++. 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 Programming in C++, 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 (CIS 240 – Programming in C++) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Programming in C++ for your Post 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 an online, self-paced course built around video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. The grading breakdown is 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam, so your work is measured through both regular checks and a cumulative assessment. When you complete the course and have your transcript sent, Post University can recognize it as CIS 240 – Programming in C++, which is a named course equivalency in the Post catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical programming habits that matter when you need to understand how software is structured, whether you are working toward an Associate of Science or a Bachelor of Science at Post. Learning variables, loops, arrays, and object-oriented programming can help you read and organize code more clearly, which is useful in technical coursework and in entry-level computing tasks. At Post, having CIS 240 – Programming in C++ on your record can support progress in a degree plan where computer science knowledge is part of the path.

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 Post

After you finish, your transcript is sent for review and Post University applies the credit as CIS 240 – Programming in C++ if you meet the transfer standard. That named equivalency matters because it places the course directly into the Post catalog, rather than leaving it as an unspecified elective, which can make degree planning in programs such as Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science more straightforward. Post accepts up to 30 credits total, or 25% of a program, so this course should be counted as part of that ceiling rather than as unlimited transfer. Post is NECHE-accredited and requires a grade of 73% (C) or better for the course to transfer.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a clear path into computing coursework and need a transfer option that Post already recognizes by name as CIS 240 – Programming in C++. It can also work for students who are planning carefully around Post’s transfer limit of up to 30 credits, since this course is only one part of the total that can move into a Post degree. It is not the best choice for someone who needs advanced C++ work right away or who is looking for a course that transfers as more than a single 3-credit equivalency.
