One credit is half an hour (but we just refer to them as hours not credits). The number of credits students have to do is calculated 2 weeks before the beginning of each semester based on faculty/student researcher demand (but cannot exceed ever 4 hours/8 credits). This semester the requirement is 4 hours. Marie

We are having some small problems with our subject pool and were wondering this question of what is the standard at other schools: How long can a "participation" credit last? At some places it is up to 60 min At some places it is up to 30 min How many "participation credits" are required at your school? We have seen a range from 3 to 20. Thank you.
