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 JavaScript is a beginner course in programming for the web. It covers the basics of HTML and CSS as they relate to JavaScript, then moves into variables, operators, conditionals, loops, functions, objects, data structures, the Document Object Model (DOM), and form handling. In simple terms, it teaches how websites can respond to user actions and change on the page.
Introduction to Javascript is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you complete the course and your transcript is reviewed by University of the People, it is recognized as CS 1101 – Programming Fundamentals, which is a named course equivalency in the UoPeople catalog.
The course gives you practical programming skills that can support work in web development and other technical tasks, especially if you are planning ahead for a University of the People degree. At UoPeople, the credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, so the coursework can help move you toward a degree while building skills you can use beyond class.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation, and University of the People reviews it as part of its transfer process. UoPeople’s registrar applies the named equivalency CS 1101 – Programming Fundamentals when the course matches, which means the credit can count in your degree plan instead of sitting as an unnamed elective. That matters because the course has a specific place in UoPeople’s catalog, and transfer credit can be used within the overall limit of up to 90 credits. For students working toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science at UoPeople, this gives a clear way to map prior study into the program.
This course is a good fit for students who want to bring a programming class into a University of the People degree plan and benefit from a named equivalency like CS 1101 – Programming Fundamentals. It may also suit students who want to use transfer credit efficiently, since UoPeople allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer. It is not the best choice if you are looking for advanced JavaScript study rather than a first programming course.
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.
