Line 12:

AIPD's automated student record system limits students to one course enrollment, or to one course enrollment and a subcourse enrollment, at any one time. But, this limitation applies only to the courses and subcourses administered by AIPD. Each subcourse is awarded a specific number of credit hours, noted in ACCP Catalog Chapter 3 at the individual subcourse descriptions and usually included on the title page of a subcourse. The number of credit hours for any given subcourse is based on the estimated time required for youa student to read the material and complete all practice exercises and the examination. If a subcourse is assigned six credit hours, the author(s) of the subcourse probably timed someone as they read the entire subcourse, performed each practice exercise, then completed the examination. They then rounded this amount of time off to the nearest hour and awarded it as the credit hours for the subcourse.
