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.
Database Fundamentals is an introduction to how data is organized, stored, and managed in computer systems. It covers the basic ideas behind databases, including tables, records, fields, relationships, SQL, and the rules used to keep data accurate and secure. The course also shows how different database designs are used in real settings, from simple relational databases to other common models.
Database Fundamentals is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. As you complete the work, the course produces transcripted credit that Southern New Hampshire University has verified as CS1ELE – Computer Science Elective on its course-by-course evaluation chart. At SNHU, that means the credit is recorded as an elective rather than a direct major requirement.
The course gives you practical language for working with data, SQL, database structures, and database management systems, which can help in office, technology, and operations settings. At Southern New Hampshire University, the credit applies as CS1ELE – Computer Science Elective, so it can support degree progress in programs such as an Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree by filling elective space. That can help students keep moving without repeating material they already know.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation and Southern New Hampshire University reviews it on a course-by-course basis. SNHU's registrar applies the verified equivalency as CS1ELE – Computer Science Elective, which means the credit counts toward elective requirements and total credit hours rather than replacing a specific required course. That can still help move an Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree plan forward, especially when you need room for general education, major, or open elective credits. Keep SNHU's transfer ceiling in mind: up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, may transfer.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for Southern New Hampshire University who want a transferable elective that counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements. It may suit working adults, transfer students, and degree completers who need flexibility, as long as they understand that SNHU applies UPI Study credit on a course-by-course basis and that the final result is CS1ELE – Computer Science Elective, not a guaranteed major course. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a specific SNHU computer science requirement rather than an elective, or for anyone already at risk of exceeding SNHU's 90-credit transfer limit.
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.
