Watch lessons, take quizzes, and pass the proctored final — fully online, on your schedule. Most students finish in 28–30 days.
UPI Study sends your official transcript directly to University of the People's registrar. UoPeople applies the equivalency: PHYS 1301 – Introduction to Physics.
Get this course + every other UPI Study course with a subscription, or buy just this one for a one-time fee.
Best if you plan to stack 3+ courses toward your UoPeople degree. All UPI Study courses included — including Physics I.
Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription, no renewals. The simplest path if you only need this course to transfer to UoPeople.

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.
Physics I is an introduction to the basic laws that describe how objects move and interact. It covers measurement, vectors, motion, forces, work, and energy, so you learn how to use math to explain everyday physical situations such as a falling object, a car speeding up, or a ball thrown through the air.
Physics I is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students are assessed across the term rather than in a single sitting. When you complete the course, the transcript credit can be reviewed by University of the People and recognized as PHYS 1301 – Introduction to Physics.
The skills in Physics I support practical problem-solving in areas that matter in UoPeople degree planning, including Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science pathways. Understanding motion, forces, energy, and measurement helps students read data, reason through technical problems, and work more carefully in science-related settings. For UoPeople students, that can make the PHYS 1301 – Introduction to Physics requirement easier to place into a broader degree plan.
After you finish Physics I, your transcript is sent for review by University of the People, and their team evaluates it for transfer. If accepted, the registrar applies it as PHYS 1301 – Introduction to Physics, which is a named course equivalency rather than a general elective note. That matters because it places the credit directly into the UoPeople degree plan in the same course slot as the catalog course. UoPeople allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course can count within that ceiling if it fits the program requirements.
This course is a good fit for students who want a transferable physics requirement that UoPeople recognizes by name as PHYS 1301 – Introduction to Physics. It is especially useful for people working toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science and for those who want to stay within the 90-credit transfer limit. It is not the best choice for someone who needs an advanced physics course or a program that requires more than the introductory level.
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.
