URGENT: How do I calculate credit hours?

Applying to College

<p>BU application is asking me for this. I took a class at Wesleyan University three days a week for an hour each class from September to December.</p>

<p>so add up the weeks that you were in class for. Just look on a calendar and go ahead. 3 hrs each week x <em>insert number of weeks</em></p>

<p>

</p>

<p>HA! If only.</p>

<p>You can look it up in the course catalog from the university. Assuming that this university follows tradition, your course should be 3 credit hours. </p>

<p>(Jcancollegebound: 3x14=42 That’s almost half of a degree!)</p>

<p>aigiqinf: looking it up in the course catalog wont work. wesleyan uses a system where a full class is “one credit” and phys ed and labs are .25 or .5 credits. wesleyan, for conversion purposes, counts each class as 4 credit hours per week…</p>

5

<p>so i take a chem class at WU for about 15 weeks, 3 classes per week, and an hour per class that would be 60 credit hours?</p>

<p>You’re kidding me. Shouldn’t it be reported to BU under their system?</p>

<p>“1.00 Wesleyan credit is equivalent to 4.00 semester or 6.00 quarter hours.”</p>
