The following course schedule types have been created to assist the Registrar with scheduling and course records. These standard schedule types are based on a reasonable approximation of the Carnegie Unit, which has stipulated that one semester credit hour be awarded for fifteen sessions of a 50‐minutes duration in classroom lecture‐recitation each requiring two hours of outside preparation by the student. This minimum standard does not restrict a higher standard that requires more student work per credit hour.

One credit hour for one hour of faculty‐led classroom instruction per week for a 15‐week term. This assumes normal outside preparation by the student of two hours for every hour in class.
One credit hour for two classroom hours per week for a 15‐week term. This is for supervised group activity such as a laboratory involving outside preparation by the student (one hour per week).
One credit hour for three classroom hours per week for a 15‐week term. This is for supervised group activity such as a laboratory involving less than one hour per week of outside preparation by the student.
One credit hour for one hour of faculty‐led classroom and internet‐based instruction per week for a 15‐week term.

Over the course of the term, students should meet with the faculty member in person for at least 25% of the contact hours.
One credit hour for three hours of remote instruction and student preparation per week for a 15‐week term. Distance education uses the internet or other technologies (i) to deliver instruction to students who are separated from the instructor: and (ii) to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and the instructor, synchronously or asynchronously. One credit hour for one week of full‐time student teaching.
One credit hour for one and a half hours of in‐class instruction and student performance/practice and one and a half hours of outside preparation by the student for a 15‐week term.
One credit hour for every three hours of practicum/clinical per week, supervised by a faculty member and/or an approved member of an outside agency, for a 15‐week term.
Internships are a partnership between students, ONU, and employers that formally integrate students’ academic study with work or community service experience. The internship will be for a specified duration, will have performance evaluations from both ONU and the employer, and it may involve compensation. Students can register for 1 credit hour per 100 hours of recorded internship experience. No undergraduate degree program can require more than 3 credit hours of internship, and undergraduate students can apply no more than 6 credit hours towards their degree requirements. Note: The College of Law has a different ratio, defining 1 credit hour for a minimum of 37 hours of recorded internship experience.
One credit hour for three hours (on average, per week) of supervised work by the student including any one‐on‐one meetings with the instructor for a 15‐week term.
