What is "college credit"?

Each course in college is assessed a certain number of credit points. Depending on the course, the number of hours that the student attends and is required to attend would be dependent on what the course is worth in credits. For example, if a course meets three times a week and has a lab, the course may be worth four semester credits. A course that may meet twice a week could be worth only three college credits. There may be a PE course that's only worth one college credit. It really depends. Of course, when you speak about college credit, you have to speak about the different kinds of credit. There's semester credit, and there are quarter units of college credit, also.
