Policy: Aspen University offers credit bearing programs and courses using a semester credit hour system. At Aspen University, one credit hour is defined as 15 hours of direct instruction and a minimum 30 hours of out-of-class student work for the course. This is congruent with the metric interval used by the Carnegie system, where 45 clock hours equate to one (1) credit hour.
More information can be found in the Credit Hour Policy in the Academic Catalog.
Purpose: The purpose of this policy is explain how Aspen University defines and determines award of credit hours to credit bearing courses and degrees.
