Watch lessons, take quizzes, and pass the proctored final — fully online, on your schedule. Most students finish in 28–30 days.
UPI Study sends your official transcript directly to Southern New Hampshire University's registrar. SNHU applies the equivalency: BIO1ELE – Biology Elective.
Get this course + every other UPI Study course with a subscription, or buy just this one for a one-time fee.
Best if you plan to stack 3+ courses toward your SNHU degree. All UPI Study courses included — including Intro to Biology 1.
Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription, no renewals. The simplest path if you only need this course to transfer to SNHU.

Savings = credits × $342 (SNHU's published online undergraduate per-credit rate). SNHU is not a signed UPI Study partner; it evaluates transfer credit course-by-course, and final credit awards are determined solely by SNHU's registrar.
Intro to Biology 1 is an introduction to how living things are built, how they work, and how scientists study them. It covers the basic chemistry of life, cells, energy use, genetics, and the processes that allow organisms to grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment.
Intro to Biology 1 is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you complete the course, the transcript can be sent for SNHU review, and SNHU recognizes it as BIO1ELE – Biology Elective on a course-by-course basis. At SNHU, that means the credit counts as an elective toward total credit hours rather than as a direct major requirement.
The course gives you a working base in cells, genetics, energy use, and scientific reasoning, which can help you read biological information more carefully and understand basic science in everyday settings. For students in SNHU Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree programs, BIO1ELE – Biology Elective can support progress toward the credit total needed for graduation while leaving room for other required courses. It is most useful when you need an elective that fits into a broader degree plan at SNHU.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to SNHU for evaluation, and SNHU applies its course-by-course transfer review to determine the equivalency. In this case, the verified equivalency is BIO1ELE – Biology Elective, which places the credit in SNHU as an elective rather than a required major course. That can help move you toward the total credits needed in an Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree program without exceeding SNHU's transfer ceiling of 90 credits, or 75% of the degree. Because SNHU accepts UPI Study courses through verified evaluation chart equivalencies, the final placement depends on SNHU's registrar review.
This course is a practical option for students planning to transfer to SNHU who need an elective and want a biology course that can be evaluated as BIO1ELE – Biology Elective. It may fit degree-finishers, students building toward an Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree, and others who need flexible credit within SNHU's transfer limit of up to 90 credits. It is not the right choice if you need a biology course that SNHU has identified as a specific major requirement rather than an elective.
Southern New Hampshire University accepts UPI Study courses for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis. These equivalencies are verified from SNHU's evaluation chart.
This is a verified course equivalency, not a formal partnership. Transfer credits are never guaranteed and are determined solely by the university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Southern New Hampshire University.
