CRCD Academic Approvals and Curriculum
Process Training
Updated by Sage Holt, CRCD VC Office Admin
Minimum requirements for an
academic unit of credit:
 800 minutes of lecture (plus 1600 minutes of study)
 1600 or 2400 minutes of laboratory (or studio or other similar activity)
 2400-4000 minutes of supervised practicum
 2400-8000 minutes of internship (or externship, clinical)
 2400-4800 minutes of supervised scholarly activity
Given the information above, the formula used for computing
credit/contact hours is 800 minutes (13.3 hrs) per credit. This equates to
approximately 1 hr of lecture per week for a normal 14 week semester.
