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 Operating Systems is a course about the software that manages a computer’s basic operations and lets people use hardware and applications effectively. It covers how operating systems handle tasks such as starting up the machine, running programs, managing memory, coordinating processes, and connecting with devices, storage, and networks.
Introduction to Operating Systems (Computer Science 354) is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade combines 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. When you complete the course and the transcript credit posts, that credit is what Woodmont recognizes as CPT202X – Operating Systems.
The course covers how an operating system starts a machine, runs programs, manages memory, schedules work, and connects to devices, storage, and networks. Those topics matter most in technical work, which is why the credit is most directly useful in the BS in Technology. Students in the BS in Business or BS in Psychology will still gain a working understanding of how the computers they use every day function, though the credit's role in those degrees depends on the specific degree plan.
After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Woodmont College. Woodmont's registrar then applies the credit as CPT202X – Operating Systems, which is a named course equivalency, the strongest form of transfer recognition Woodmont offers. Because the equivalency is named, you do not need to petition for a general elective placement, and the credit appears in your degree audit under that course code. Transfer credit is capped at 84 credits (70%) of a Woodmont degree, so plan your remaining coursework with that ceiling in mind.
This course suits students who want to finish a Woodmont degree at lower cost by replacing an operating systems course with a transfer credit, including working adults who need a self-paced option and career changers who are learning computing fundamentals. At Woodmont's $360 per-credit rate, the 3 credits are worth $1,080 in tuition, and the credit counts toward the 84-credit transfer limit (70% of a degree). It is not a good fit for students who need a live classroom, or for anyone who expects the course to count toward Woodmont coursework that has no equivalency on the articulation sheets.
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.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Woodmont College.
