Yes. UPI Study courses carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I at TESU
Does Thomas Edison State University accept Chemistry I as a direct equivalent to their CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I?
Yes. Under the formal Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and Thomas Edison State University, UPI Study's Chemistry I is recognized as a direct named equivalent of TESU's CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I — not just elective or GE bucket credit. This is the strongest form of transfer recognition.
Will this transfer with full named-course credit, or just as elective?
Full named-course credit. The MOU specifically lists Chemistry I as transferring as CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your TESU transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I at TESU or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I, TESU typically applies UPI Study's Chemistry I as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your TESU advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I directly at TESU?
The credit value is identical: 3 credits toward your TESU degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), while TESU's subscription is $39/month — but UPI Study lets you finish faster and start without TESU enrollment. Many students complete UPI Study courses BEFORE enrolling at TESU to reduce overall program time.
Does Thomas Edison State University ever change which courses they accept as CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and Thomas Edison State University explicitly lists Chemistry I → CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I. We update this page whenever the MOU changes. If you've already completed the course and earned an NCCRS-recommended transcript, your credit recognition is generally honored even if future versions of the MOU change.
🔄 About transferring to TESU
How many UPI Study courses can I stack toward my TESU degree?
Thomas Edison State University accepts up to 75% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 90 credits for the bachelor's degree. 50 UPI Study courses are recognized by TESU under the Articulation Agreement, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at TESU.
Do I need to enroll at TESU first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no TESU enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to TESU when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach TESU?
Once you complete Chemistry I, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Thomas Edison State University. TESU's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Chemistry I for your TESU credit.

What is Chemistry I?

Chemistry I is an introduction to the substances that make up matter and the changes they undergo. It covers the structure of atoms, how elements combine to form molecules and compounds, how chemical reactions are balanced and measured, and how energy, bonding, gases, and physical properties fit into that picture.

How the course teaches you

Chemistry I is delivered in a self-paced online format with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. That structure gives you a clear path through the material on atoms, bonding, gases, reactions, and measurement while you work toward a transcripted grade. Once completed, the transcript can be reviewed by TESU and recognized as CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I, a named course equivalency in the TESU catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical chemistry skills that support careful problem-solving, lab awareness, and data interpretation, which are useful in science-related work and in any setting where accuracy matters. At TESU, that credit can fit into degree planning for programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, where CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I may help satisfy a specific course need rather than just serving as elective credit.

Skills you walk away with

Use dimensional analysis and unit conversionsBalance chemical equations and solve stoichiometry problemsPredict trends in ionization energy, electronegativity, and atomic radiusDetermine reaction yield and compound compositionApply laboratory techniques and use lab equipment properlyExplain chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and intermolecular forcesInterpret gas behavior with the ideal gas law

Taking this course toward TESU

After you finish Chemistry I, the transcript is sent for TESU review and the registrar applies the credit as CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I when it matches the course equivalency. Because this is a named course equivalency, it can do more in a TESU degree plan than an elective-only transfer; it may satisfy the General Chemistry I requirement where that course is needed. TESU accepts up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy within an Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts pathway. TESU also has a flexible transfer policy and accepts ACE and NCCRS recommendations, which is why this kind of transfer credit is commonly used in planning.

Who this course is for

This course is a fit for students planning ahead for TESU and wanting a clear, named transfer result: CHE-1110 – General Chemistry I. It is especially useful for degree completers, adults returning to school, and students who want to manage cost and pacing while staying within TESU’s transfer framework, which allows up to 90 credits to transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who needs immediate in-person lab instruction or who has not checked whether General Chemistry I is the right requirement in their TESU plan.
