Each course is assigned a prescribed amount of credits. Most courses at the undergraduate level within the US (in institutions that operate on a regular two semester academic year) are 3 credits, with science courses assigned 4 credits. Each credit indicates the number of hours spent in the classroom or in a direct learning position with a professor and other classmates. Thus, a three credit course represents three hours of classroom time each week. As such, they are also referred to as credit hours. Each degree level requires a certain amount of credits in required areas to complete the degree. Typically - and depending on the specific program of study and state mandate - an associates degree can require between 60 and 64 credits (or credit hours) to complete. A bachelors between 124 and 128 credits. Credits and credit hours are thus synonymous.

Can someone take seven classes in collage?

There are no laws regarding the maximum or minimum hours allowed in college. The number of credit hours/classes you can register for is limited by the school itself. Typically the maximum allowable credit hours is 21-25 per semester, with a recommended course load of about 15-18 hours. If all of your classes are typically 3 hour classes, 7 classes would be pushing it. However, if you have a few 1-2 credit hour classes, 7 classes may not be excessive.
