Credit Hours?

[elle.08]

I am just filling out part 2 of my application (I know, sort of late!) and I was wondering what the equivalent of credit hours were for a full year vs. half year course?

 

Thanks!!

It's 3 credit hours for a half year course and 6 credit hours for a full year course.

Does anyone know if this is the same for grad school courses? It doesn't seem to affect my GPA regardless of what I put in, but it would be nice to know.

So what does it mean if there are 4 credit hour courses..Is it a solid 5 courses OR equivalent 30 Credit hours?

I believe 4 credit hour courses are 0.5 credit (half semester) courses that have a lab component. You should contact Dal and see if they actually accept 4 credit courses as 4 credits and not 3.

I have already contacted Dal about my honors situation and it seems like 30 credit hours is equal to 5 courses...I have the e-mail in case I run into issues lol. I wish things were more standard.....

Aha found it, yes 30 credit hours is considered full-time by Dal... so their rule of 5 courses or 10 half courses would also have an equivalency of 30 credit hours. I'm hoping other schools have this "rule" as well.
