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 Networking is a course about how computers and other devices connect, communicate, and share data. It covers the basic ideas behind networks such as LANs, WANs, WLANs, and VPNs, along with the standards and protocols that let information move reliably across them. You also learn how the Internet works at a basic level, including IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the OSI and TCP/IP models.
This self-paced online course uses 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 send your transcript to Southern New Hampshire University, SNHU reviews the course on a course-by-course basis and may recognize it as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective.
The networking concepts in this course help you understand how devices connect, how data moves, and why systems like DNS, routing, and VPNs matter in everyday work. At SNHU, the credit applies as an elective in programs such as an Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree, which can help you keep moving through your degree plan while building a broader academic foundation.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Southern New Hampshire University for review. SNHU's registrar applies the verified equivalency as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective on a course-by-course basis, and that elective credit counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan. For SNHU Associate Degree and Bachelor's Degree programs, this can help you use transfer credit where an elective is needed, while staying under the university's limit of 90 transferable credits, or 75% of the program. SNHU's evaluation chart is the basis for this transfer recognition.
This course is a good fit if you want to bring a networking course into an SNHU degree plan without needing a major-specific match, since SNHU may apply it as IT1ELE – Information Technology Elective. It can also work for students who are trying to stay within SNHU's transfer limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of a program. It is not the right choice if you need a course that fulfills a specific required networking class at SNHU 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.
