[OACRAO] Credit Hour Policy

[Rodriguez, Juan]

Four-year public schools with nursing programs:

We are interested in knowing how your institution applies ODHE's credit
hour definition to clinical and practicum courses in your nursing programs?
And, are those definitions consistent for all clinical and practicum
courses across academic programs institution wide?

ODHE Credit Hour Definition:

*"A minimum of 750 minutes for a semester credit hour or 500 minutes for a
quarter credit hour of formalized instruction that typically requires
students to work at out-of-class assignments an average of twice the amount
of time as the amount of formalized instruction. Credit hours may be
calculated differently for other types of instruction (e.g., laboratory
experience, directed practice experience, practicum experience, cooperative
work experience, field experience, observation experience, seminar, and
studio experi­ence) as long as the credit hour calculations align with
commonly accepted practices in higher education and with the regulations of
regional accreditors and the federal financial aid program."  *



 Thank you,
