University of Tasmania Credit Transfer Information
Full-time credit load (undergraduate)
The University of Tasmania (UTAS) uses percentages of a full time load to determine the
weight of a class (unit). Each unit has a weight which is its proportion of 100% load per year.
Most units have a load weight of 12.5%, so 8 x 12.5% units usually make up 100% load.
Students usually take four courses, weighted at 12.5%, per semester. UM students who pass
4 units will receive 16 credits at The University of Montana, or 4 credits per unit.
