Credit Value System
Effective Fall '04, credit values have been assigned to most courses based on the following definition from the National Transcript Guide: "Credits is the unit of value that expresses the quantity of course work required. The number of credit hours of a course is usually determined by the number of hours of class per week multiplied by the number of weeks in a term or session. One credit hour is usually assigned for each hour which meets per week over a term or session."
Courses will be deemed non credit and not assigned a credit value if they are less than 10 hours in duration, have an AC/AN grade (Attendance Complete/Attendance Not Met) or are considered non-Post Secondary.
The following legend is only a guideline for assigning credits.
