<p>Im doing Dual Enrollment in high school which is 1200 hours, but its an online course. According to the app, it says I have to say that I am attending. But Im not sure how to put it on the application. It's asking for credit hours (which is 1200) but its only allowing me to put from 0-999 hours. What do I do?</p>
<p>Also its asking for credit hour type (trimester,semester, or quarter) Im not sure which to choose. Ive started the course in Jan 2012 and expected to graduate in June 2013. HELP? I need to finish this part of the app to continue!</p>
<p>I think you don’t have the same definition of “hours” as the college application. Typically, an hour is how many semester-credit hours will be granted for the course, which is more-or-less the number of classroom hours per week. An entire bachelor’s degree is only about 120 - 130 semester hours, or 180 - 210 quarter hours. </p>
<p>So it sounds like you’re taking a three semester course (Spring 2012, Fall 2012, and Spring 2013). Will you have an associate’s degree by the time you’re finished? In that case, it’s ABOUT 60 semester hours. If it’s just three hours a week for that year and a half, it’s ABOUT 9 semester hours. Does your school calendar start new classes in September and January, or in September, January, and April? The first is Semester hours, and the second is quarter / trimester hours (I don’t know the difference between quarters and trimesters).</p>
