Changes and Revisions

The school retains the right to change and/or revise materials, programs, classes and policies as changing conditions and law may dictate. Catalog revised April 2024.

Policy for Development and Awarding of Credits

Development

The amount and level of credit awarded for both credit-hour and clock-hour courses are determined by appropriate faculty and approved by existing committees. Credit-hour courses are approved by the academic unit of which they exist, the Curriculum Committee for undergraduate courses and the Graduate Council for graduate courses. Clock-hour courses are developed by faculty qualified in the discipline and then must be approved by the university’s Skilled Training Committee.

Credit-hour programs

Academic credit is a measure for the amount of engaged learning time expected of a typical student enrolled not only in traditional classroom settings but also laboratories, studies, internships and other experiential learning, and distance and correspondence education. Campbellsville University defines one academic credit hour using the “Federal Definition of the Credit Hour: A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates: 1) Not less than one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours out of class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester hour credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. Normally, one credit hour associated with a class meeting for 50 minutes per week for an entire semester (or the equivalent 750 semester-minutes, excluding final exams), 2) At least an equivalent amount of work as required outlined in item 1 above for other academic activities as established by the institution including laboratory work, internships, practical, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours (that each in-class hour of college work should require two hours of preparation or other outside work)”, or 3) Hybrid Classes and Distance Education Classes: Academic technology may be used to replace face to-face class meetings in full or in part (Hybrid). Hybrid courses are those courses offered replacing a portion (less than half) of the traditional face-to-face class instruction with technology as the instructional modality. The remaining communication is face-to-face, similar to traditional classes. An online class is a course offering in which the majority of the instruction occurs when the student and instructor are not in the same place, but it may require synchronous or asynchronous meetings within the given academic term. A Distance Education Class is a course offering in which communication between faculty and student occurs primarily via academic technology, but it may also include off-site meetings through interactive televised modality (ITV). Credit hours for hybrid and distance education courses are based on equivalent student learning outcomes as courses offered face-to-face. The mode of instruction is normally shown in the university course schedule.

Clock-Hour Programs

Consideration for total hours of technical education programs at Campbellsville University is based upon the requirements by any state and national accrediting bodies that are pertinent to each individual program curriculum matrix or the minimum number of clock-hours to cover materials necessary for licensure.  Examples of individual program requirements are didactic course work, lab competency skills, clinical externship hours, and certification testing reviews.  These areas are necessary to meet training needs for licensure.
