🎯 About CS3ELE – Computer Science Elective at SNHU
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Southern New Hampshire University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a SNHU degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every SNHU 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 SNHU degree?
SNHU'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 SNHU's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for SNHU electives even though it's a computer science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence as elective credit at SNHU, regardless of subject area. SNHU 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 SNHU?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). SNHU 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 SNHU 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.
🔄 About transferring to SNHU

How does the transcript reach SNHU?
Once you complete Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Southern New Hampshire University. SNHU's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (CS3ELE – Computer Science Elective) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
