Credit Hours

Your AMCAS application will automatically convert most undergraduate credit hours (also known as units and hours) to either semester hours or supplemental hours based on conversions provided by undergraduate institutions.

Again, indicate your credit hours or units exactly as they appear on your transcript. Do not attempt to enter conversions based on the Grade Conversion Guide or any other conversion method.

If no hours appear on your official transcript, leave the item blank unless the credits have been removed as a result of failure.

Below the Credit Hours field, you are asked, “Did the course include a lab section?” The three available selections are Lecture Only, Lab Only, and Combined Lecture and Lab. Select the appropriate designation for the course.
