What is a credit hour?
A credit hour is the amount of academic credit a student receives when taking a particular course.  Each ESL course is a three (3) hour course.  At AC, students can determine how many credit hours a course has by looking at the second number in the course number.   The example below shows the course number 0311.  Since the three (3) is the second number in the course number, you know it is a three (3) hour course.
