Course Credits by Department
Course credits are attributed to a department based on that department's "ownership" of a timetable subject. For example the department of Botany (A4813) is the "owner" of the subject of Botany (208). Under this approach, the student credit hours in all Botany courses "belong" to A4813, without regard to who is teaching the Botany course sections. In the case of cross-listed courses, the credits of students who registered for the course as a Botany course belong to A4813, while the credits of students who registered for the course under a different timetable subject belong to another department.
A companion report, "Credits Follow the Instructor", is available from the Office of Academic Planning & Analysis.
