How can a class count as credit and meet a degree requirement? Does it count twice?
A class can count once toward the accumulation of credits for degree or certificate, but in some instances (i.e. Anthropology) it may meet a degree requirement as well as count toward credit hours. It only counts as three credits once, but it can do other things, for example meet the degree requirement of Human Relations or Multicultural/Global Studies (the inside right side of the Student Planning Worksheet, page 3). Consider the right side of that to be a yes/no question, not a “counting credits” column. Essentially, we are asking, “among all the credits you completed for the degree, did you have one from each of those three categories.” The answer needs to be yes. So a class counts once toward credit hours, but could also answer the question above one or two times depending on the category and the class (for example: Anthropology 1100, 1105 or 1130).
