Five credits is what you will earn upon successful completion of the course. Five contact hours, means you will spend five hours in classroom time per week throughout the length of the semester.
If you mean credits, you have to look at your class load and the number of credits for each class.
For colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system, one credit equals 16 hours of class contact time (time within the classroom) per week for the length of the semester. Two credits would mean 32 hours of class contact time for the length of the semester, and typically broken down into two hours per week. With successful completion of the course, the student is then awarded to credits toward their degree.
Maybe you mean college credits? You can earn one college credit for a class that meets one hour each week for a semester, which is usually 16-18 weeks. So in order to earn 6 college credits, you would attend class 6 hours a week for a semester.
It depends on which type of semester system the institution operates under. For schools that operate under a regular semester system, one credit is 16 hours of class contact time per week through the semester. Thus, a three credit course would require 48 hours of class contact time for the semester. Therefore, 22 credits would mean 352 hours of class contact time.
One semester hour equals one credit. Thus, three semester hours equals three credits. In other words, three semester hours means three hours of classroom contact time per week. That is worth three credits for the semester.One semester hour equals one credit. Thus, three semester hours equals three credits. In other words, three semester hours means three hours of classroom contact time per week. That is worth three credits for the semester.One semester hour equals one credit.

If you are referring to remedial courses required as a result of college basic skills testing, then it would depend on how many credits each course is assigned. A three credit course would mean three hours of classroom contact time per week through the length of the semester (48 hours total). A four credit course, four hours per week (64 hours total).
Typically they are. For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year (most common), one hour of class contact time per week through the length of the semester, is equivalent to one credit toward graduation.
A course is usually completed after you have taken the final exam. If you mean, "when have you completed ALL of your college coursework", this would entail completing your major (usually 30 credits or more), completing all distribution requirements (somewhere between 20 and 45 credits, usually, depending on the college), and completing enough elective coursework to finish with the 120 - 124 credits needed for a bachelor's degree.
A credit hour is a semester hour; it is also a quarter hour. It really depends on the credit structure of your particular school. The real question is: What's the difference between a semester hour and a quarter hour. Quarter hour credits are 1.5 times the hours in the semester system. The real question is: Why are they called hours?
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.
Advanced Placement is a programme for high school students to earn university credits.
I assume you mean from a four year college to a two year college. If so, the two year institution will use as many credits from your coursework as possible and apply those credits to your intended major at the two year college. However, the two year school will have a transfer credit limit. This would amount to approximately 32 credits, provided they fit your major. The other 30 to 32 credits will have to be taken at the two year college. That being said, I have listed below reasons why some credits may not transfer. Some may apply while others may not.Courses were taken at a college or university without the appropriate accreditation.Course was not passed with the appropriate grade.Course was not equivalent to the receiving institution's credit and/or course content requirements.Course does not fit into a student's declared major.Course may be antiquated and no longer useful in terms of course content (example, computers).Course exceeds the transfer credit limit.
