How do I enter my courses if my transcript indicates Course Credits or Units (One course = 1 Credit) rather than Credit Hours (One course = 4 sem. hours)?
Certain programs grant credit using a course credit or unit system in which the majority of courses are equivalent to one course credit or unit rather than semester or quarter hours. In order for PTCAS to calculate your GPAs correctly, you must enter your coursework with credit hours, rather than course credits or units, even if your transcript lists these courses using course credits or units. If your credits are not entered correctly, your application will be delayed and GPAs incorrect. Institutions that use this credit system generally have information regarding credit hour equivalency on the back of the official transcript. If you cannot locate this information on the back of your transcript, call your institution’s Registrar or Records Office.
