Course Credit
Course credit is based on the semester hour unit. Generally, a lecture course without a laboratory meets three hours each week during a sixteen (16) week semester, and a student is granted three semester hours of credit for successfully completing such a course. In most instances, a laboratory course meets three hours for lecture and three hours for laboratory each week during a sixteen (16) week semester. To ensure that classes meet the required hours, weekly course time will increase for classes meeting in semesters of less than sixteen (16) weeks.
