Frequently asked questions

Everything about Anatomy & Physiology I → UoPeople.

📚 About Anatomy & Physiology I
What is Anatomy & Physiology I?
A college-level study of human body structure and function, covering cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems. It is Biology 211 with 17 chapters.
Does Anatomy & Physiology I include a lab?
No — this is the lecture course. Most nursing and allied-health programs require a lab. Pair it with Anatomy & Physiology I Lab.
Will nursing programs accept this?
Many pre-nursing tracks accept ACE-recommended A&P credit — and pairing this lecture with our A&P I Lab gives you the lecture-plus-lab format nursing programs expect. Your program's advisor can confirm your school's policy in minutes.
Do I need prior biology or chemistry for Anatomy & Physiology I?
No formal prerequisite. The course includes a chemistry-of-life chapter to build the needed foundation.
How is Anatomy & Physiology I graded?
Chapter quizzes, one assignment, and a cumulative final exam. 70 or above is required to pass.
How long does Anatomy & Physiology I take to complete?
58 contact hours; typically 28–30 days, though A&P is content-dense and many students take longer.
What's the difference between A&P I and II?
A&P I covers organization, support, and control systems. A&P II covers cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
Is there a recency limit on Anatomy & Physiology I credit?
Some health programs like sciences completed within the last 5–7 years — taking A&P now gives you a fresh completion date, and your program's advisor can confirm your school's window in minutes.
Is there a CLEP exam for Anatomy & Physiology?
No — College Board doesn't offer an A&P CLEP, so an ACE/NCCRS-recommended course like this is the main self-paced way to earn A&P credit.
What body systems does A&P I cover?
Anatomical terminology, cells and tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
Is A&P I accepted for nursing programs?
Yes — many pre-nursing and pre-health tracks accept ACE-recommended A&P credit, especially as the lecture-plus-lab pair with our A&P I Lab. Your program's advisor can confirm the specifics in minutes.
Do I need the lab to get science credit for A&P I?
Most four-year and nursing programs require the lab component — pair this with the A&P I Lab course if your program needs a lab science.
🎯 About Human Anatomy & Physiology at UoPeople
Does University of the People accept Anatomy & Physiology I as a direct equivalent to their Human Anatomy & Physiology?
Yes. Under the published transfer agreement between UPI Study and University of the People, UPI Study's Anatomy & Physiology I is recognized as a direct named equivalent of UoPeople's Human Anatomy & Physiology — 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 Anatomy & Physiology I as transferring as Human Anatomy & Physiology — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your UoPeople transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken Human Anatomy & Physiology at UoPeople or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for Human Anatomy & Physiology, UoPeople typically applies UPI Study's Anatomy & Physiology I as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your UoPeople advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking Human Anatomy & Physiology directly at UoPeople?
The credit value is identical: 3 credits toward your UoPeople degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), while UoPeople's subscription is $39/month — but UPI Study lets you finish faster and start without UoPeople enrollment. Many students complete UPI Study courses BEFORE enrolling at UoPeople to reduce overall program time.
Does University of the People ever change which courses they accept as Human Anatomy & Physiology?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current published transfer agreement between UPI Study and University of the People explicitly lists Anatomy & Physiology I → Human Anatomy & Physiology. We update this page whenever the agreement 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 agreement change.
🔄 About transferring to UoPeople
How many UPI Study courses can I stack toward my UoPeople degree?
University of the People accepts up to 75% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 90 credits for the bachelor's degree. 88 UPI Study courses are recognized by UoPeople under the Articulation Agreement, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at UoPeople.
Do I need to enroll at UoPeople first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no UoPeople enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to UoPeople when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach UoPeople?
Once you complete Anatomy & Physiology I, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by University of the People. UoPeople's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (Human Anatomy & Physiology) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
