Definition of A Unit of Credit -
The Florida Institute of Science and Management follows the Carnegie unit calculation method for awarding course credit. For example, we calculate 1 credit hour as equivalent to 15 theory hours.
To that end, our courses are typically 3-credit courses and will require 45 hours of total instruction. Additionally, students must be prepared to complete assignments, research, and other course-related activities.
Transfer of Credits -
Transfer applicants must meet all the admission requirements of The Florida Institute of Science and Management. The institute’s transfer policy is designed to recognize previously earned credits. Individuals who have earned credit at other institutions are encouraged to find out which courses may apply. Students may qualify to use up to 18 credits earned elsewhere towards FLISM. Speak to your admissions agent for details.
The Florida Institute of Science and Management will evaluate transfer credit from other institutions on a course-by-course basis. Transferability of credits is based on similar content and course objectives. Qualified credits will only be accepted if the grade earned was at least a “B”. Transfer of credit is at the discretion of The Florida Institute of Science and Management. Transfer of Credits from The Florida Institute of Science and Management to another university is at the discretion of the receiving institution, it is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether credits will be accepted by another institution of their choice.
