UoPeople is tuition-free, but charges a $120 per-course assessment fee for undergraduate courses. Savings = transferred credits × $40 (the per-credit equivalent of UoPeople's $120 assessment fee for a 3-credit course). UoPeople credit awards subject to their evaluation policy.
Advanced Technical Writing is the study of how to explain information clearly in professional settings. It focuses on writing that helps people do something, understand a process, or make a decision, such as emails, memos, instructions, reports, proposals, resumes, and cover letters. The course also covers how to write for different audiences and how to handle ethical and legal issues in communication.
Advanced Technical Writing uses a self-paced online format with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade breakdown is 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so steady work matters throughout the course. When you complete it, the transcript can be reviewed by University of the People and recognized as ENGL 1102 – English Composition 2.
The course builds practical writing skills for emails, instructions, reports, proposals, resumes, and cover letters, which are useful in many work settings. At University of the People, the credit applies as ENGL 1102 – English Composition 2, which can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is a useful option if you want writing credit that fits directly into a UoPeople plan.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it through its transfer process. If accepted, the registrar applies the credit as ENGL 1102 – English Composition 2, which is a named course equivalency and the strongest form of transfer recognition because it maps to a specific catalog course. That can help you move through your degree requirements in a more direct way within programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. UoPeople allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course can be part of a larger transfer plan.
This course is a good fit for students planning to transfer to University of the People and want a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. It may suit people who need a clear path toward the 90-credit transfer limit and want coursework that can count as ENGL 1102 – English Composition 2. It is not the best choice for someone looking only for a broad survey class with no interest in how the credit fits a UoPeople degree plan.
University of the People is the world's first non-profit, tuition-free, WASC-accredited online university. Its team evaluates your transcript for you, and you only pay a small per-course assessment fee — no tuition.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to University of the People.
