(§99.3l(a)(15)) Advance Standing Sumner College does not recognize any advance placement or non-collegiate learning credits as a substitute for transfer credits. Academic Year An academic year is three (3) academic quarters. An academic quarter is any quarter that the student attended in any program at the school during which the student attempted any course that is included in their program. This will be counted for purposes of determining the students applicable academic year. Course Numbering System Sumner College uses a standard or conventional college course number system to denote the progressive development of knowledge levels and difficulty as our student progress through their program of study and learning. 100 level courses designate freshman year equivalent levels of study and learning while 200 level courses designate sophomore year equivalent levels of study and learning. Within that general course numbering, Sumner uses the progressive sequencing of the numbers to denote logical program progression. For example, ENG 102 is English Composition, the entry-level English composition course, ENG 115 is Expository Writing, a more advanced composition course; and ENG 116 is English and Writing, the most advanced of
the three English composition classes. In the nursing program classes; BIO 131 is Anatomy and Physiology I; BIO 132 is Anatomy and Physiology II; BIO 133 is Anatomy and Physiology III; NUR 221 is Maternal Newborn Nursing; NUR 222 is Pediatric Nursing; and NUR 232 is Mental Health Nursing with the course numbering indicating the more advanced nature of these courses. Credit Hour Conversation Credit for the education programs at Sumner College is calculated on the basis of quarter credit hours. The credit hour allocations at Sumner College follow Oregon State guidelines as defined in OAR 583-030-0015, approximately 30 hours of student work to earn 1 quarter credit. For each 1 quarter credit hour earned, the student will spend a minimum of 10 hours in the classroom, with an additional 20 hours minimum of equivalent laboratory activity, assigned homework, or some other closely related activity such as outside projects.
