AA102 Credit Hour Policy

Introduction

The College of Health Professions (COHP) follows the UTHSC Credit Hour policy for determining the appropriate number of credit hours for each course offering. The faculty in each program conduct a formal curriculum review and determine the appropriate credit hours for each course. If programmatic awarding of credit hours varies from UTHSC policy, then the program has a written procedure for calculation of credit hours.

Purpose

For each course in the COHP, the departmental faculty determine the amount of credit awarded for undergraduate and graduate courses if compatible with UTHSC policy and/or related accrediting bodies.

Procedure

  1. Departmental faculty meet and review the credit hour calculations for each course.
  2. Credit hours awarded for a course are approved by the departmental faculty.
  3. Credit hours are approved by the COHP Curriculum Committee for the college.
  4. Credit hours are published in the catalog.
  5. Credit hours for each course to be offered the upcoming term are reviewed and confirmed during the catalog review process.
