SUBJECT: FYI – Credit Hour Compliance Check Process

Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 10:00 AM

Greetings:

I hope everyone is doing well. 

I want to share information about a new process that UM-Dearborn is adopting to ensure our campus remains in compliance with federal regulations and expectations around the awarding of academic credit. In particular, as an accredited institution we must maintain a credit hour definition for all courses, regardless of modality, and ensure that we are adhering to our policies (for background on UM-Dearborn’s compliance processes and this new process, please visit this Registrar’s Office webpage). 

The process will involve my office reaching out in the next few weeks to a random set of faculty from each college who are teaching a hybrid and/or online course to confirm that the student work expectation aligns with the assigned credit hour(s) for a particular course the faculty member is teaching.  

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Thanks,
Mitch
