How is credit calculated for professional short courses?
Wetland related short courses taken outside of the university setting are calculated on an equivalent semester hour basis where 15 hours of instruction equals 1 equivalent semester hour of credit. For example, a 36 hour course in wetland delineation methodologies would be worth 2.4 equivalent semester hours of credit. The applicant must clearly document the dates and location of the class, names of the instructors, the number of hours of instruction and provide copies of any certificates issued.
