Minimum Contact TimeMinimum Contact Time
Minimum contact time is established by the Master Course Approval (MCA)
The MCA also establishes the distribution of hours (e.g., lecture only; lecture and discussion section, etc.)
To “convert” the time of a F/W/S course into a summer course, begin by converting required course hours into minutes
Each “hour” is equal to 50 minutes
