Academic Credit & Evaluation
Academic credit is awarded on the basis of semester credits. One semester credit is equivalent to 14 contact hours and two hours of work outside of class for each contact hour. Evaluation of coursework is made in a variety of ways, depending upon the nature of the course. Midterm grades are given to students receiving grades of "C-" or below so that there is opportunity for them to improve performance. Final letter grades (including plus/minus option) are given in most courses, and students are informed in advance of those few courses that are evaluated on a Pass/No Credit basis.
Status
In order to be classified as full-time, a student should register for a least 12 credit hours of course work per term. Three-quarter time status would require the student to be registered for nine to 11 credit hours, and half-time would require six to eight credit hours.
