Syllabi and Course Credits
Syllabi
Students can expect to receive a syllabus in each class within a week of the initial class meeting. The syllabus contains all pertinent information for the class, including the instructor’s expectations, instructor contact information, grading scales, and attendance policies. Students should pay close attention to the syllabus.
Course Credits
One credit is equivalent to one collegiate semester-hour credit.
Each semester hour of credit given for a course is based on the “academic hour,” which is 50 minutes of formalized, structured instructional time in a particular course, weekly for fifteen weeks. This is a total of 750 minutes of instruction. In addition to this instructional time, appropriate evaluation will be required. If this evaluation is a final examination, a minimum of one hour will be scheduled for each semester hour of credit generated by the course, not to exceed three academic hours (150 minutes).
