1 hour is more or less 1 credit. I’ve taken 7 classes in one semester before (it was actually the required courseload for that semester) for a total of 18.5 credits. A typical student at a typical college would normally take 5 courses a semester for about 15 credits though. Unlike high school, you won’t take seven 45 minute classes in a day for five days a week. Instead, over the course of a week, you’ll take about 5 classes for a total of only about 15 hours.
