(3+2P)• Suffix (G) following the course number – indicatesthat the course satisfies a <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> CommonCore requirement.• Suffix (N) following the course number – indicatesthat credits do not apply toward graduation.• Credit (cr.) – The unit of university credit is the semesterhour, which equates to 50 minutes of lecture/recitation per week for one full semester, which isfifteen weeks in length.• Hours followed by the letter “P” – number of hoursspent each week in practical applications (labs,clinicals, etc.). Each hour of practice (P) is valuedat no more than one-half semester hour of credit.It takes at least two 50-minute hours (50 + 50 =100 minutes) of practice/lab per week to equal onesemester hour.
