Credit

Credit for courses is designated in terms of semester hours.

A semester hour of credit is designated for the equivalent of one class period per week for a semester of sixteen weeks. Periods for laboratory courses are, generally, twice as long as those for non-laboratory courses in proportion to the credit values.

The last digit of a course number indicates the number of semester hours of credit to be earned. When zero is the last digit of a course number, the course carries variable credit.
