How credits work

College classes are worth a certain number of hours
each, based on how long and how often they meet.
These hours are translated back to high school
credits based on the following formula:
A semester college course of 3 or more credits
counts as a one-year high school class.
3 college credit hour course= 1 High school credits
* All AP and CCP courses are on an advanced weight 5.0
GPA scale.
