For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, one credit is 16 hours of class contact time. Thus, a three credit course would require 48 hours of class contact time for the semester.

Dual Enrollment
It depends on which college you get into or apply to, some colleges do not accept AP as a college course, whereas some others do accept AP as college credit.
Dual enrollment is offered to students who are studying in high school, & have completed required courses. They can sign up for college classes taken at the college/online (at no cost to them) vs AP (advanced placement) which is a class offered at the high school, at the end of the course, the students can pay a fee to take a test, if they earn a high score, they will also have earned a college credit. If they do not pay the fee, they still have to take the test, however, if past they will not have earned college credit for it .
To receive college credit for taking an AP course, you need to take the AP exam at the end of the course and achieve a passing score, typically a 3 or higher, depending on the college or university. It's important to check with the specific institution you plan to attend to understand their AP credit policies and requirements. Additionally, you may need to submit your AP exam scores to the college's admissions office for consideration.
Depending upon the course you select, this could range from 128 to 138 college credit hours. This is inclusive of the general education credit hours plus major credit hours.
Typically, it's a way to indicate the length of time for a course (usually a non-credit course), that may be required by the school yet does not apply to the graduation requirements. Some students must take remedial (non-credit) courses as a result of basic skills testing, however, they are not college level courses and as such the student does not receive college credit. Thus, they are called institutional credit.
it depends on which school you will be attending online. if it is a full time college, and a three credit course, you are likely going to pay about $1000 for credit hour.
If the cost is $365.00 per credit, then a four credit course would cost $1,4600.00.
