aslan91 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hey guys, I'm trying to calculate how many semester hours I have accumulated over the 3 years at Ryerson so far but I don't know how to or if I am doing it right. My department advised that I contact each individual American school to find this out because they all run differently....? From my research, each course that meets for 3 hours a week is 3 semester hours. If its a science course with a lab component, it is more than 3 semester hours but I don't know how much. Is this correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savac Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 If it has a lab then it would be 4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslan91 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 If it has a lab then it would be 4 hours Okay so all my science courses had lab components so they are 4 hours each, what about electives/liberals that also met for 3 hours each week? Are they going to be worth 3 semester hours as well? And summer courses count too right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoss Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Actually the only thing that matters is what it says on your transcripts. If it doesn't say what the course weight is when you check grades, order you own transcripts and see what it says. Even if there is a lab, it will still only count for whatever it say on your transcript (usually 3 or 4). This applies to OMSAS, AMCAS, and probably any other school. Realize though, that if a US school asks for say, 8 hours for a science prerequisite, they'll know what's up if they see your course had a lab.

peachaso Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 It should say in the academic calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
