[FACULTY DIRECTIONS: Please include any additional information your students should know about course time commitment expectations. ONCE COMPLETE, DELETE THESE BRACKETED DIRECTIONS.]

Student course time commitments may vary from course to course. Typically, an 8-week course, whether in-person or virtual, meets for three (3) hours per week (a little more for a 6-week course), and requires approximately three (3) hours outside of class for homework. For 8-week or 6-week fully online courses, students would spend about six (6) hours on course work per credit, per week. 

Regardless of the delivery method, approximately 45 hours per credit of total student effort is anticipated. This equates to 135 hours for a 3-credit course.
