Clock-Hour Conversion Programs


Certain programs that do not lead to an Associate’s Degree are required by the U.S. Department of Education to be treated as a clock-hour to credit-hour conversion program. The formula below is performed by the Financial Aid Office to determine the number of financial aid credit hours associated with each class that is used to determine a student’s enrollment status during the program.

Course/Title of Course Credit Hrs Contact Hrs x Semester Weeks / 37.5 = Clock Hrs
TITLE IV CREDIT HOURS TO CLOCK HOURS CONVERSION
(How to Determine Clock Hours Conversion)
  (A) (B) x (C) / 37.5 = (D)
ENG-110 3 3 x 16 / 37.5 = 1.2

Example:

ENG 110 (B=3) x (C=16) = 48 / 37.5 = (D=1.2) (round down) Financial Aid will cover 1 credit hour for ENG 110

Multiply BxC Divided by 37.5 Equals D (Clock Hours for Financial Aid)

Students with questions about the Clock Hour Conversion process are always encouraged to come by the Financial Aid Office following registration.
