journey00 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I'm working on finishing my dd's high school transcript so she can apply for a university and a community college. She is dually enrolled at the community college & completed two classes: English 1113 English Composition 1. Music 2631 College Choir: Choral ensemble performance. English is worth 3 credit hours and I'm giving her 1 full credit. Do I count Music 2631 as 1 credit hour? And if yes, how does 1 credit hour translate into a high school credit.... .25 credit? .50 credit? She attends choir twice weekly for 1 hour classes, then there's two mandatory concerts to perform. Why would this be listed as only 1 credit hour? Edited January 13, 2018 by journey00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 How many hours a week did it meet? If it met 3+ hours/week, I would count it as a full high school credit. Music classes are notorious for nickel and diming you to death on credit hours, with 1 credit classes that meet 5 hours/week and require significant out of class requirements. If they didn’t, a music major would have a ridiculously high number of credit hours. I had semesters where I easily had 30+ hours a week in required class activities, with half the hours being performance classes, but got only 15 credits for the semester. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journey00 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 It met twice weekly for 1 hr each class plus the extra practices and two mandatory performance concerts and attended a mandatory band concert to watch. Should I give 1/2 a high school credit? Awww..ok..that makes perfect sense about all the accumulated hours. Ty for explaining that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Each semester-long c.c. class is worth a full high school credit, regardless of how many hours a week it is. On my children's high school transcripts, I added a "T" next to the credit for each c.c. course, with a legend that said, "T=transferred credit H.S. level or above." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
