Out-of-Class Work

For purposes of defining an academic credit hour for Title IV funding purposes, ITT Technical Institute

considers a quarter credit hour to be the equivalent of: (a) at least 10 clock hours of classroom activities

and at least 20 clock hours of outside preparation; (b) at least 20 clock hours of laboratory activities; or (c)

at least 30 clock hours of externship, practicum or clinical activities. ITT Technical Institute utilizes a “time-

based option” for establishing out-of-class activities which would equate to two hours of out-of-class

activities for every one hour of classroom time. The procedure for determining credit hours for Title IV

funding purposes is to divide the total number of classroom, laboratory, externship, practicum and clinical

hours by the conversion ratios specified above. A clock hour is 50 minutes.

A credit hour is an artificial measurement of the amount of learning that can occur in a program course

based on a specified amount of time spent on class activities and student preparation during the program

course. In conformity with commonly accepted practice in higher education, ITT Technical Institute has

institutionally established and determined that credit hours awarded for coursework in this program

course (including out-of-class assignments and learning activities described in the “Course Outline”

section of this syllabus) are in accordance with the time-based option for awarding academic credit

described in the immediately preceding paragraph.
