4TH QUARTER - MARCH TO MAY

CONSISTENCY STANDARDS
The unit of credit is the quarter hour. Each quarter hour of credit represents10 hours of classroom contact based upon a 50-minute hour. Distance learning students study the identical curriculum and read the same textbooks but are able to progress at their own pace. Class contact time and course content for distance learning students are compliant with generally accepted standards for state approved colleges and universities. For Distance Learning students the content, assignments, qualifications, examinations, thesis and dissertation requirements for completion are identical to that which is used in the classroom operating on the quarter system.

USE THE FOLLOWING CONVERSION FORMULA TO CONVERT BETWEEN QUARTER HOURS AND SEMESTER HOURS FOR CREDIT TRANSFER PURPOSES - The Association of Christian Alcohol and Drug Counselors College of Addiction Studies will evaluate and accept transfer credit from accredited colleges or universities and approved religious colleges and institutions offering programs or courses designed to train counselor and ministry students:
