A semester credit hour is normally granted for satisfactory completion of one 50-minute session of classroom instruction per week for a semester of not less than fifteen weeks. This basic measure may be adjusted proportionately to reflect modified academic calendars and formats of study. Semester credit hours are granted for various types of instruction as follows

It depends on whether your university is on a semester system or a quarter system.  In a semster system 5 classes is average but I would recommend 6 classes (at least your first year) so that you don't have to worry about credit requirements when you are graduating.  7 classes would be insanely difficult and your school probably will not allow you to take that many- mine didn't my freshman year.  If you are in a quarter system (my best friend is) you should take 3-4 but 5 might be ok- most definitely not 7!  And not that you asked this- but if you can- try to figure out your major as soon as possible so you can get a head start on credits.  I took a third of the classes necessary for my philosophy major in my first semester which made it really easy for me to pursue a double major.  GOOD LUCK :)

you can get up to 2025.00 per semester - that would be for fulltime 12+ credit hours\n\nNot to exceed 4050.00 between July 1, 2006 and June 30 2007

Take 15-20 minutes per class and study!  Each night..only review the topic you don't know and take 5 minutes to concentrate on one topic...no music, no distractions...and always go with your first instinct!

It needs to be a personal goal: the desire to do your best, and to study hard to achieve that goal.  It does NOT mean lack of social life, but it does mean setting aside many hours for study, each week.  It means not putting off assignments until they are almost due.  It means studying on a daily basis, at least an hour, every single day. Do not distract your study time with tv, gaming, visitors... Do the assignments and reread them if you don't "get" the concepts. Redo math problems over and over until you can do them easily. Memorize formulas. \n\nIf you want your education to do the most for you, learn the material, don't just plod thru it.  And realize that it \ntakes a lot of time to bring home straight A's.  B's are ok grades, B+ is better.  The occasional C is tolerable. D's are never acceptable. If your grades are below a B average, try to get tutoring if you really want better scores.  There may be some study techniques you could learn to do better.\n\nBeen there. In high school, I plodded thru. In my first years of college, I plodded thru but pulled a B+ average. Once I figured out I wanted straight A's, I focused a lot more on my assignments and managed to make that goal.  \n\nIt helps to have good teachers, those who explain concepts and their expectations, clearly. The good news is that even if you have a lousy teacher this term, the school year is almost over, and if at all possible, avoid that lousy teacher next year.

Yes, the number of credit hours usually corresponds to the number of hours spent in class each week for that class.\n\nYour out of class homework and study time is not included in the credit hours. For many classes the time spent outside the class is much more than that spent in the classroom!

Usually I figure 1-3 hours per classroom hour studying.  Science classes will lean to the higher end.  Some teachers are CRAZY, and will require 4-8 if you sense that you have that kind, drop another class RIGHT AWAY or you will be in trouble by a week or two after mid-terms.  Remember, finishing early is great, but degrees are useless in the loony bin.\n\nIf you have a hard time maintaining a schedule check out flylady.net it is made for housewives, but the system works great for students too and it is FREE.

If you work and take 15 credit hours a semester it will take you 4yrs.  If you take only 6 credit hours a semester it will take about 8yrs.\n\nI think the guy above me means CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and there is a reason why the course is only a year long... you go all day and when you graduate you wipe butts for 15 bucks.  I recommend you become an RN...the higer your education, the more you are paid and the less messy work you do.

Please Read this first:::\n\nThe general rule of thumb is that ten hours per week over the course of a 15-week semester, or 150 hours, is roughly equivalent to 3 course credits. For summer internships or internships involving an intensive commitment of time over a shorter period, we typically use the same rule of thumb (150 hours = 3 credits).\n\nTo receive course credit for internship placements, students are expected to work approximately 8 hours per week at an internship site. In addition to these eight hours there are at least two hours of weekly supervision, one hour with the agency supervisor and one or more hours with a faculty supervisor individually or in an internship seminar. Supervision is a crucial aspect of the internship placement. It is the agency supervisor and the faculty sponsor who determine the grade. Grading for internship placements is based on student performance and growth at the internship site and on academic requirements specified by the faculty sponsor. Academic work is geared toward understanding the internship and heightening the learning experience. \n\nNow you better understand why?\nBut spending some time in academy is not a bad idea....\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

It depends on if the school is using a quarter system or a semester system.  My recollection is that in a semester system 12 units or more is considered full time and 18 units is very full schedule.  Very very few people take more than 18 units.\n\nAlso, at many school some classes are more units and some classes are less units.  You might take 3 classes with 5 units each or perhaps 5 classes with 3 units each.   \n\nI don't know about schools on a quarter system.\n\nRegardless, ask the school for the course catalog and all the info you're looking for should be there.  Oh, and the course catalog should be free.

3 hours and 45 minutes I believe, but you'll be there from like 8am to 1:30 pm or so because you have to check in and then they have to pass out the books and answer sheets. Also, you get a couple of breaks. Two five-minute breaks and a one-minute break, I think.

College is the sh*t. When else can you nap at 3 in the afternoon on a Tuesday and drink Wednesday nights because you don't have to get up for class Thursday 'til 1. And shirk all responsibility. Anyone who didn't like college wasn't doing it right.

classes were ~ 45 minutes except for science lab classes and they were 1:30.  school started at 8am and lasted to 3pm lunch was about 1/2hour(thank god, any longer would be cruel)

It depends. What are you doing when you check the time? If you are taking classes that start on the hour, it could mean you get bored 11 minutes in.

College credits work this way:\n\nGenerally you get 1 credit for every half-hour per week of classwork (assuming you are a full time student on a semester basis). This is just lecture time, where the professor will get up in front of class and go through the material.  This does not include lab work, where you  work with a teaching assistant (TA) in smaller groups to answer questions and solve example problems. \n\nYou generally need to take about 14-16 credits per semester to graduate in four years.  Having said that, that's a pretty full-on course load for a Computer Science major.  If you can afford it, adding on an extra semester makes the load a lot easier to handle. \n\nCredit is specific to a given university/college/junior college and may or may not be transferrable to another university/college/junior college.  As a result, you need to do some homework as to which classes are acceptable up the chain of higher education.
