Each course is expected to take about 100 hours to complete, plus homework time. If you are comfortable with a subject area or struggle with it, this could affect how long it takes to complete the course.
Each course will earn you one credit. You require 24 credits to graduate. These 24 credits consist of compulsory, required and elective credits. If you would like to complete all credits in three years, you should plan to take eight courses each year.
You will earn percentages, rather than be graded on a scale of 1-4. A minimum overall average of 50% is required for each course to pass and receive a credit
