Rule 310-9-.05 - Calculation of Hours of Credit

(1) Credit accrues at a rate of one hour for each hour of actual contact. This shall be known as a contact hour or clock hour. Three hours of tour or field session activities are required to equal one contact hour. For providers who measure continuing education activities in "Continuing Education Units" (CEUs), one CEU is defined as 10 contact hours of continuing education. Credit will not be allowed for any program which in its entirety, including question and answer periods, lasts less than sixty minutes. However, credit may be rounded down to the nearest whole or half hour, so long as it is at least one hour. Credit will not be given for time spent in introductory remarks, coffee and luncheon breaks, meals, or business meetings where no organized course work is presented.

(2) Credit as an instructor, discussion leader or speaker will be allowed for any course or program provided that it is one which would meet the continuing education requirements of those attending. The credit allowed an instructor, discussion leader or a speaker will be on the basis of two hours of continuing education credit for each hour of teaching. No credit will be given for preparation and no additional credit will be allowed for repetition of the same program.

(3) Each semester hour of credit from a college or university shall be deemed to be fifteen hours and each quarter hour of credit shall be deemed to be ten hours.
