How many credits can I earn?

A total of 12 credits of experiential learning including internships may be applied to a Chapman undergraduate degree.  Check the course catalogue to determine the amount of credits you are able to register for based on the academic course description for each program/department.

20 hours total are required per each ½ credit. This credit requirement is a minimum that can be earned any time within the term dates and there is no limit to the number of internship hours. The maximum number of internship credits a student may carry during a semester or term is six credits (two 3-credit internships). If a student wishes to continue an internship with the same site supervisor for a second term the assigned duties and learning objectives must advance.
 

Not all jobs qualify for internship credit.  The internship must be at a site that offers a real opportunity for the student to learn, grow, and advance in his/her field.  Whether or not a position is acceptable as an internship is at the discretion of the faculty internship advisor with advisement from the Internship Coordinator.  Students do not receive academic credit for their current job or regular employment.

Retroactive credit is not granted. Hours for credit must be completed during the  term that a student is registered with no exceptions.
