Course Credit Value

Definition

Measured in Carnegie units, the amount of credit available to a student who successfully meets the objectives of the course.

Format

Numeric - up to 2 digits after decimal place

Usage Notes

For K-12 a course meeting every day for one period of the school day over the span of a school year typically offers one Carnegie unit. In this case a Carnegie unit is a measure of "seat time" rather than a measure of attainment of the course objectives.
