Successfully completing credit courses leads toward completion of certificate, advanced certificate, diploma, post diploma certificate and applied certificate programs, apprenticeship level requirements or requirements for licensure. Every credit program is endowed with a specific title, length, entrance requirements, curriculum outline, credit courses or modules, completion requirements and a completion document. We use credit units as a measure of course value or weighting. It is generally calculated on the basis of one credit unit for each 15 hours of classroom instruction or one credit unit for each 30 hours of lab, shop or clinical experience. We use average completion times for Competency-Based Education courses.
Equivalent courses have equivalent credit hour ratings.
For courses that have class, lab and clinical integrated, the credit unit formula is one credit for each 25 hours of instruction. Discontinuation When terminating a registration, you must provide written notification of the termination to the Registrar's Office. If you do not meet the stated entrance requirements, you will have the opportunity to take a test to determine if you possess the required knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the program. Equivalent course credit is not reciprocal unless it is specifically declared. When we determine that you meet the program's entrance requirements, you will be admitted into the program in the order that your application form was received.
