For colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system. One credit is equal to 16 hours of class contact time for the semester. This is broken down into hours per week. Thus, a one credit would be one hour of class contact time each week for the length of the semester. A three credit course would be 48 hours of class contact time (16 x 3) for the semester. This would be three hours of class contact time per week. To make this easier, when you see a course is three credits, you know the class will meet three hours per week. After successful completion of the semester, you will have earned three credits toward your degree. If the course is one credit, then the class will meet one hour per week, and at the end of the semester you will have earned one credit toward your degree.
