Definition of a Credit Hour
The 大学 of Law adheres to federal law and 阿坝 definitions of a credit hour. 阿坝 Standard 310(b) provides a “credit hour” is an amount of work that reasonably approximates:
-
- (1) not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and two 小时 of out-of-class student work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or
- (2) at least an equivalent amount of work as required in subparagraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution, including simulation, field placement, clinical, co-curricular, and other academic work leading to the award of credit 小时.
The 大学 of Law currently operates on 15-week semesters 在 Fall and Spring and an 8-week Summer term, inclusive of reading days and final exams. 为大学 of Law purposes, in-class time is calculated in 50 minute “小时” per credit over 15 weeks, or other equivalent for more-condensed courses. All faculty instruction time is calculated at this rate. All other academic time is calculated in 60-minute 小时. This means that at least 42.5 total 小时, accumulated through some combination of in-class and out-of-class time, are required for a "credit hour."
