Credits

CREDITS: The course unit is the measure of credit at The University of Chicago. One full unit (100) is equivalent to 3 1/3 semester hours or 5 quarter hours. Courses of greater or lesser value (150, 050) carry proportionately more or fewer semester or quarter hours of credit.

Courses taken in the Law School may be displayed as credits (3 credits = 100 units) or as units, with values of greater or lesser than 3 credits carrying proportional credits/units.

For courses taken prior to Oct. 1, 1962, one full credit was equivalent to 3 semester hours or 4 1/2 quarter hours when then course was numbered below 200. It was equivalent to 3 1/3 semester hours or 5 quarter hours when the course was numbered above 200. Courses of greater or lesser value were proportional.
