Academic Credit Analysis

The academic credit analysis form allows institutions to list each course in a program, even if it is not being taught, and indicate how many contact hours are lecture, how many are laboratory or skill-related, and how many are required in an externship/internship. In addition, an institution must denote whether it measures student progress in credit hours or clock hours.

For institutions offering an occupational associate's degree, academic associate's degree, or bachelor's degree, those courses that satisfy the requirement for general education, also must be denoted.

The academic credit analysis form must be used in completing a new program application, an application for a new grant of accreditation with ACICS, and an initial grant of accreditation with ACICS. This form can also be found in those applications.
