Work out lecture hours requirement instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Contact hours follow from credits: one credit typically means one lecture hour a week for the semester. The attendance rule then converts into a concrete number of hours you can miss, which is far more useful than a percentage when planning around commitments.
Total lecture hours
Total = Credits x Contact hours per credit x Semester weeks
Hours you can miss
Missable = Total hours x (1 - Minimum attendance %)
Usually not. Labs and studios commonly count two or three contact hours per credit, so check the scheme of instruction.
Most institutions bar the student from the end-of-semester examination, with condonation only on documented medical grounds.
