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 “timebased 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.
