How to Total Credit Hours

Credit hours quantify the instructional time a course represents. Summing your earned credits across all semesters shows how far you have progressed toward your degree.

Formula

Total Credits = Sum of Each Semester's Credits

Remaining = Degree Requirement - (Completed + In-Progress)

Most bachelor's degrees require 120 credit hours, though some programs (engineering, architecture) require more.

Example Calculation

A student has completed 4 semesters (15, 16, 14, 15 credits) and is enrolled in 12 credits this term. The degree requires 120 credits.

  1. 01Completed credits: 15 + 16 + 14 + 15 = 60
  2. 02Total with in-progress: 60 + 12 = 72
  3. 03Remaining: 120 - 72 = 48
  4. 04Completion: 72 / 120 x 100 = 60.0 %
