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.
Introduction to Linux is a course about how the Linux operating system works, where it came from, and how people use it on computers, servers, and virtual machines. It covers both the ideas behind Linux, such as its history and open-source community, and the practical tasks involved in using it, like working with files, managing software, and using the command line.
Introduction to Linux is completed online through video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split as 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish and the transcript is sent for review, Southern New Hampshire University evaluates the course on a course-by-course basis and recognizes it as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective.
The course builds practical Linux skills that can be useful in settings where SNHU students are working toward Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree programs, especially when an elective slot in the plan can be used for broader technical study. At SNHU, the credit applies as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective, so it can support degree progress without replacing a required major course.
After completion, the transcript is sent to Southern New Hampshire University for review on a course-by-course basis. SNHU's registrar applies the verified equivalency as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective, which means the credit counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in the degree plan. That can help in both Associate Degree and Bachelor's Degree programs, as long as the overall transfer total stays within SNHU's ceiling of 90 credits, or 75%. This is an elective transfer, so it should be used with that role in mind when planning the rest of the program.
This course is a fit for students who want to move toward SNHU with a transferable elective in hand, especially if they are trying to stay within the university's limit of up to 90 credits, or 75%, transferred. It can also make sense for adult learners and students changing direction into information technology who want elective credit that SNHU has already evaluated as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective. It is not the right choice if you need a course that is meant to satisfy a specific required SNHU 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.
