Credit Hours Worksheet

The credit hour worksheet is based on standard calculations used by colleges in evaluations of transfer credit for courses from other colleges. The calculation is used because courses may vary in the amount of credit awarded based on whether the course was taken at a college that operates on a semester schedule or one that operates on a quarter schedule.

In general, when an agency screens applications, the standard calculation applies (i.e., 1 course = 3 months experience). The Credit Hours Worksheet is effective when an agency performs a deeper level of evaluation (e.g., review of college transcripts) and desires a specific conversion of college course credit hours into experience relative to the MQ Conversion Table. The credit hour worksheet will give experience equivalencies regardless of semester/quarter differences.
