About this course

Understanding Introduction to HTML and CSS for your UoPeople credit.

What is Introduction to HTML and CSS?

Introduction to HTML and CSS is a course about how web pages are built and styled. Students learn the basic structure of HTML, how CSS controls appearance, and how the internet pieces together web content through things like URLs, DNS, and web domains.

How the course teaches you

Introduction to HTML and CSS is a 3-credit course with a 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam grading structure. As you complete the course, your transcript records the work you have done in HTML, CSS, and web fundamentals, and that transcript is what University of the People reviews for transfer consideration. At UoPeople, this course is recognized as CS 1101 – Programming Fundamentals, a named course equivalency that maps to a specific catalog course.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills from this course help you understand how web pages are built, styled, and connected through the internet, which is useful in many study and work settings. If you are building toward a University of the People degree, the credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, depending on your plan and remaining requirements. Because UoPeople is a tuition-free, WASC-accredited online university, this kind of transfer credit can help you move through a degree with fewer courses to complete there.

Taking this course toward UoPeople

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it through its normal transfer process. If approved, the registrar applies the named equivalency CS 1101 – Programming Fundamentals to your record, which means the credit is counted as a specific course in your UoPeople degree plan rather than as an unspecified elective. That matters because named recognition is the strongest form of transfer credit and can reduce the number of courses you still need in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Keep the transfer ceiling in mind: at UoPeople, up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, may transfer.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to earn transferable credit before starting or continuing a University of the People degree, especially if they are trying to keep costs low. It is also practical for people who want a named equivalency on record, since UoPeople recognizes it as CS 1101 – Programming Fundamentals and allows up to 90 transfer credits in total. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a graduate-level computer science course or who is looking for transfer into a university with different course requirements.
