FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS…
What days of the week are classes?
What does full-time mean?
Usually classes meet Monday, Wednesday
and Friday OR Tuesday and Thursday. There are
many evening classes that meet only one day a
week. There are also weekend classes available.
You are considered a full-time
student when you are taking at least 12
credits.
What day is R?
R stands for Thursday; M=Monday,
T=Tuesday,
W=Wednesday,
F=Friday,
S=Saturday, U=Sunday. If a class meets on TR
that means the course meets on Tuesday and
Thursday.
What is the length of classes?
Classes that are worth 3 credits that meet on
MWF normally meet for 50 minutes each day for
15 weeks during a typical Fall or Spring term.
Classes that are worth 3 credits that meet on TR
normally meet for 1 hour and 15 minutes during a
typical Fall or Spring term. Classes with fewer or
more credits would meet less or more time, as the
credits would indicate.
What is GPA?
GPA stands for grade point average. Your
GPA can be calculated by dividing your quality
points by your GPA (credit) hours.
What are Quality Points?
Quality points are assigned to your
completed courses according to the grade you
receive. For example, an “A” grade is worth 4
quality points per credit. If you have a 3-credit
course in which you receive an “A,” your quality
points would be 12. Dividing 12 (quality points)
by 3 (credits)=4.00 (GPA.) Quality points for
other grades are:
A= 4 per credit
B= 3 per credit
C= 2 per credit
D= 1 per credit
F= 0
