No, we do not inflate the number of credits per course. Because there are many different credit systems, we transfer credit on a full-load for full-load basis. If you complete what your host program or university defines as the normal full-time course load for a semester, you will receive 16 credits here. In most cases, programs that award 3 credits per course will define the normal full-time course load as 5 courses (15 credits) per semester. If you complete less than the normal full-time course load, credits will transfer credit-for-credit.
