Semester Credit Definition 

NEOMED awards semester credit based on 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 to no less than 750 minutes of formalized instruction that typically requires students to work at twice the amount of preparation/independent learning time (1,500 minutes). Please see the full policy: Semester Credit Definition Policy

Shared Credit Limits (College of Graduate Studies) 

“Shared Credit” refers to credit awarded toward a COGS degree or certification program for course work completed in another NEOMED academic degree program. Each COGS degree program has a minimum number of required credit hours that must be unique to the program and cannot be used for dual credit. Departments and programs may impose more stringent shared credit limits but may not exceed the University limit. Refer to the COGS – Transfer Credit and Shared Credit Policy for limits.

Dual-Degree Institutional Shared Credit 

Refer to Shared Credit Limits statement here. Program specific limitations for shared institutional credit are incorporated under each degree program by college when applicable.
