How do I enter my coursework 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 by using a course credit or unit system, in which the majority of courses are equivalent to one course credit or unit rather than a certain number of semester hours or quarter hours. In order for your GPA’s to be calculated correctly, you must list 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, it will delay preparation of your application for mailing, and will cause incorrect GPA calculations. 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, you should call your institution’s Registrar or Records Office.
