The numbers that appear within the parenthesis next to the credit hours represent the total number of contact hours per week, by activity, that the student attends the class assuming a 15-week semester. For instance, a 4 credit hour course that is listed as 2L/3LBV means there are two hours of lecture per week plus three hours vocational lab per week for a total of (5) hours contact time per week for 15 weeks. In this example, the student attends a total of 75 contact hours. The 75 hours can be adjusted to any length term.
