deathvvv Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hey guys For AMCAS, if one of my courses is 3 hours a week of lecture + 1 hour a week of tutorial. Is that 3 or 4 semester hours? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 It might be 3.5...for mine it was the number of hours of lecture per week plus 1/2 of the number of hours of lab or tutorial. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to enter it into AMCAS as it says on your transcript though and they convert it for you...don't convert it yourself...

n00b Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sounds like a standard 3 semester hour course, but yeah AMCAS converts it, not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 i just input course info exactly how it was on my transcript..amcas took care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshto Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 so at guelph, they use 0.5 for a regular 1 semester class regardless of whether it has a lab component or not. so i should just enter 0.5 credit hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
token Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, just write exactly what's on your transcript. AMCAS looks over every course for the grade and hours during verification and will change it if there's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viscous Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yes, just write exactly what's on your transcript. AMCAS looks over every course for the grade and hours during verification and will change it if there's a problem. if someone's course had lab component for 0.5 credit course but transcript does not mention it, I think we need to modify and tell AMCAS about it in the description though ...

joshto Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 for the purpose of school-specific secondaries, how do we calculate semester hours?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamesfan Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 for queens just enter the 0.5 or 1.0 and then tick off laboratory. they will convert to 4 or 8 hours for semester hours: half course is 3 hours, full is 6, with lab is 4 or 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
