Savings estimate = credits × $360, Woodmont's published undergraduate per-credit tuition (new.woodmontcollege.edu/tuition-and-fees). Under the articulation agreement Woodmont does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to Woodmont's review and policy.
Introduction to Networking is a course about how computers and other devices connect, communicate, and share data. It covers the basic ideas behind networks such as LANs, WANs, WLANs, and VPNs, along with the standards and protocols that let information move reliably across them. You also learn how the Internet works at a basic level, including IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the OSI and TCP/IP models.
Introduction to Networking is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade combines four equal parts: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Once the completed course appears on your transcript, its 3 credits are recognized at Woodmont as a General Elective.
The course explains how LANs, WANs, WLANs, and VPNs work, along with IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the OSI and TCP/IP models. Those ideas show up in IT support, systems administration, and any role where you troubleshoot connectivity or make decisions about company infrastructure. At Woodmont, the 3 General Elective credits count toward total credit hours and can support a BS in Technology, a BS in Business, or a BS in Psychology plan, where they fill elective space rather than a specific major requirement.
After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Woodmont College. Woodmont's registrar then applies the course as a General Elective under the articulation agreement. Because it is an elective equivalency, the credit counts toward your total hours and elective requirements in your degree plan rather than a named course. Woodmont allows up to 84 credits (70%) to transfer from UPI Study, so track how many transfer credits you have already used before adding more.
This course suits adults who are finishing a Woodmont degree and want a practical, lower-cost way to fill elective hours, as well as people moving into technology from another field who need a foundation in how networks operate. At $360 per credit, the 3-credit course represents $1,080 in Woodmont tuition, so transferring it is a meaningful saving. Keep in mind that the equivalency is a General Elective, so it will not replace a required major course or a general education requirement, and Woodmont's transfer ceiling of 84 credits (70%) limits how much of your degree can come from UPI Study courses in total. If you need a networking course that counts toward a specific technical major requirement, check with a Woodmont advisor before enrolling.
Woodmont College recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the Woodmont course, general education requirement or general elective Woodmont's equivalency sheets assign it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at Woodmont in good standing and meet course and program requirements. Woodmont is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
