FVCC does offer credits with .5 (.5, 1.5, 2.5, etc), but we really try to discourage it as much as possible. We do not use .75. Some of these courses were set up in conjunction with the course exchange for the MUS Montana Collaborative Programs where we had to split lecture-lab courses into two courses and offer the lecture portion online.

That does appear to be a huge headache. The only time we deal with fractional credits is quarter credit transfer. It appears similar to the person who is asked to rate something 1 through 5 and they insist on a 4.5. I would be curious to know the justification and would try to have them fit the standards. Unless there is a compelling pedagogical reason to for the fractions I would avoid it, and frankly I am not sure what that would be.

Good morning,
We have a program that is going to send through curriculum with ½ and ¾ credits. So they will have a class for 1.75 credits. Does anybody else do this or know of a reason why this should not be done? It seems like a headache financially. If anybody has any knowledge on this I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
