How do US college /university credit hours equate to credits in Canada?
US college credit hour courses are semester based and are worth 3 college / university credit hours/units and usually equal .5 credit at Canadian institutions (though some Canadian institutions are on the hour system). Many Canadian courses are full year, which would equate to 6 credit hours. Six full year courses (or 12 half credits) would equate to 36 college / university credit hours in the US.
