    • one (1) hour of lecture
    • two (2) hours of tutorial, laboratory, design or field work

    One AH continued over the duration of a semester is defined as an Academic Credit (AC). (One (1) AC is equivalent to about fourteen (14) AHs. However, in the case of Open and Distance Learning, one (1) AC is considered equivalent to about twenty-five (25) AHs) For activities in which contact hours cannot be used to properly describe the extent of the work involved, such as project study, work camps and industrial training, the following definitions are used for an AC:

    • one (1) week of project study
