1 1 Georgia Regents University Definition of a Credit Hour Policy Policy Owner: Effective Fall 2013 Office of the Provost Date: Point of Contact: Version #: 1 Affected Organizations ( all that apply): Affected Stakeholders ( all that apply): Enterprise Faculty Staff University Health System All Employees Other: Students Policy Statement Include a clear, concise statement of the policy addressing the following: What is expected, when the policy applies, and any major conditions or restrictions that apply. For academic purposes, Georgia Regents University conforms to standards set by the BOR (Board of Regents) Policy of the University System of Georgia, the SACs (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) Commission on Colleges Policy Statement, the Federal definition (Federal Register (75 FR p ), Carnegie unit recommendations, and individual program accrediting agency guidelines to define and measure semester credit hours awarded to students for course work. Reason for Policy Include a clear, concise statement of the reason this policy is needed addressing the following: the overarching basis for the policy, what those involved need to do (but not procedures), the problem or conflict the policy is designed to resolve, and any legal or regulatory reasons for policy. Credit Hour Definition for Undergraduate, Graduate, and College of Dental Medicine Courses Introduction The Federal Definition of Credit hour (Federal Register (75 FR p )): (1) One hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester or trimester hour of credit, or ten to twelve weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or (2) At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours. Georgia Regents University Definition of a Credit Hour Although not explicitly stated in the BOR policy which defines one semester credit hour as 750 minutes of total
2 2 instruction or equivalent per a 15 week semester (50 minutes/week), GRU also expects the minimum of 1500 minutes (2 class hours; 100 minutes/week) of out of class student work in line with SACs and Federal definitions. Thus overall, one credit hour is constituted by a minimum of the equivalent of three class work hours; where a class hour is defined as 50 minutes. However, the ratio of in class/direct instruction time vs out of class student work, will vary depending on the course type. The standard for a one semester credit hour course is one class hour (50 minutes) of direct instruction and a minimum of two class hours (100 minutes) of out of class student work/student academic engagement activities each week during the standard semester (15 weeks). This equates to a total of 750 minutes of direct instruction and 1500 minutes of out of class student work per standard semester (15 weeks). A course offered in fewer than 15 weeks shall contain the same total hours (contact hours, preparation time, content, and requirements) as the same course offered in the standard 15-week semester. Reasonable Equivalencies for Course Types and Methods of Delivery Semester credit hours are granted for various types of instruction as follows: Lecture: One credit hour = one class hour (50 minutes) plus minimum of two class hours (100 minutes) of out of class student work/week Seminar : One credit hour = one class hour (50 minutes) plus minimum of two class hours (100 minutes) of out of class student work/week. In courses and academic activities where direct instruction is not the primary mode of learning, such as laboratory courses, internships, practica, clinical experiences, research, etc., an equivalent amount of work (minimum of three hours per week for a semester) must be completed for a credit hour. Laboratory : One credit hour = two class (laboratory) hours (100 minutes) plus minimum of one class hour (50 minutes) out of class student work/week. Internship/Practicum Ratio of in class/out of class time engagement can be variable by discipline typically one credit hour = two class (Internship/Practicum )hours (100 minutes) plus minimum of one class hour (50 minutes) out of class student work/week. Clinical Experiences variable by program and determined in accordance with recommendations of program s specific accrediting bodies or state regulation (if/as applicable). (Typically one credit hour = two clinical hours (100 minutes) plus minimum of one hour out of class student work/week or one credit hour = three clinical hours (150 minutes) /week or for a 15 week semester, 37.5 hours per credit hour ). Research, Thesis/Dissertation and Independent Study- Courses where students are working on independent projects, such as in thesis/dissertation hours and independent studies, will conform to the standard minimum of three hours of student work per credit hour per week throughout the course of the semester or the equivalent amount of work distributed over a
3 3 different period of time. For a for a 15 week semester this would be 37.5 hours per credit hour. For courses with non-traditional delivery methods the standard minimum of the equivalent of three class hours per week for a semester must be completed per credit hour as follow: Distance Learning/Online Courses Distance learning/online courses shall be defined as those courses and programs in which 95% or more of class time is delivered by distance technology. Actually contact time should follow the same guidelines as traditional fact to face courses. Online courses should meet an equivalent of the required 750 minutes of instruction per credit hour per 15-week semester and expect the minimum of 1,500 minutes (2 class hours; 100 minutes per week) of out-of-class student work. Partially at a Distance The combination of face-to-face and distance instruction must equal an equivalent of 750 minutes of instruction per credit hour per 15-week semester and expect the minimum of 1,500 minutes (2 class hours; 100 minutes per week) of out-of-class student work. Hybrid - A course is considered hybrid (or blended) when it has the following characteristics: 1) the course is carefully designed integration of online and face to face experiences using the best aspects of both environments to meet the learning objectives. And 2) a significant portion of traditional face to face class time is replaced by on-line components. For example, a course that is taught (50% online, 50% face-to-face) would require 375 minutes of instruction per semester hour must be conducted face-to-face; 375 minutes of instruction per semester hour must be conducted via distance per 15-week semester. In addition, the minimum of 1,500 minutes (2 class hours; 100 minutes per week) of out-of-class student work is expected. Length of a semester i. Full term Standard Semester = 15 weeks of instruction (not counting exam weeks). Standard credit/contact hours are calculated for this time frame. ii. Summerville summer sessions a. Full session 45 days of instruction. Class time must be scheduled to include 750 minutes of instruction and the minimum of 1500 minutes of out of class student work per credit hour. b. Short sessions range from 5 to 7 ½ weeks. Class time must be scheduled to include 750 minutes of instruction per credit hour and the minimum of 1500 minutes of out of class student work per credit hour. iii. Health Sciences summer session 55 days of instruction. Class time must be scheduled to include 750 minutes of instruction per credit hour and the minimum of 1500 minutes of out of class student work per credit hour. Location
4 4 All courses must be equivalent to the standard credit hour calculation (depending on the course type), and must be consistently delivered as such across all locations offered: i. Online (fully at a distance) ii. Main campus (Summerville and Health Sciences) iii. Satellite campuses Variable Hour Courses Students enrolled in variable hour courses must be taught at an equivalent of the standard credit hour calculation (depending on course type) for the number of credit hours for which they register.

5 5 The Medical College of Georgia determines the amount of credit awarded for courses in accordance with the accreditation standards of the LCME (Liaison Committee on Medical Education,) which is the accrediting body for medical education programs in the United States and Canada. The LCME defines program length and academic credit in terms of weeks of instruction, rather than semester hours, requiring a minimum of 130 weeks of instruction for educational programs leading to the Doctor of Medicine Degree. I. Definition of a Credit Hour The Medical College of Georgia utilizes a two-semester system. Each semester is comprised of weeks. Lecture and laboratory courses are calculated at one credit hour per 720 minutes of instruction. Clinical courses are calculated at one credit hour per six contact hours, with Phase III electives calculated at seven hours per 40 contact hours. II. Equivalencies for Non-Standard Course Types and Methods of Delivery A. Course Type i. Lecture Calculated at one credit hour per 720 minutes of instruction ii. Laboratory Calculated at one credit hour per 720 minutes iii. Clinical Calculated at one credit hour per six contact hours, with the exception of Phase III electives, which are calculated at seven credits per 40 contact hours. iv. Phase III Core Clerkships and Electives Calculated at 15 credit hours per 90 clinical hours or 20 credit hours per 120 clinical hours. B.
