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.
Introduction to Computing is a survey course that explains how computers and software work at a practical level. It covers the main kinds of software people use every day, how operating systems and file systems organize work, how hardware parts fit together, and how data is stored and managed in databases. It also introduces the history of computing and the social effects of new technologies.
Introduction to Computing is a 3-credit course built around practical study of application software, operating systems, hardware, databases, and the history and social effects of computing. Its grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so students are assessed across the full course rather than by one test alone. When the transcript is reviewed by University of the People, this coursework is recognized as CS 1104 – Computer Systems, a named course equivalency in the UoPeople catalog.
The course helps students understand the software and systems they use every day, from word processing and presentation tools to databases, file systems, and security protocols. That background is useful in both work and daily problem-solving, especially for students building toward University of the People programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. At UoPeople, the credit can support progress in a degree plan where CS 1104 – Computer Systems is the recognized match.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it through its transfer process. If accepted, UoPeople applies the credit as CS 1104 – Computer Systems, which is a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because it can fit directly into a UoPeople degree plan, including options such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Even with transfer credit, UoPeople’s ceiling is 90 credits, or 75% of a program, so students still need to complete the remaining coursework at the university.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for University of the People and wanting a course that already has a named recognition there: CS 1104 – Computer Systems. It can also suit students who want to use transfer credit efficiently, since UoPeople allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer into a degree. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a different subject area or who is not aiming for a program where this specific computer systems equivalency will help.
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.
