Seeking Advice: Scheduling a 2.0 Credit/4-Period EMT Course
Leslie Miller
I’m looking for some "IC Master" wisdom on a unique scheduling situation. We have a student who has finished his HS requirements early and is taking a 12-credit college EMT program. Our admin wants this to count for 2.0 HS credits on his transcript.
Our standard schedule is 8 periods, and our typical courses (including dual credit) are only .5 credits. Admin suggested placing "EMT" in his schedule 4 times to fill the seat time and reflect the credit value.
I’m planning to use course codes 44060 (EMT I) and 44065 (EMT II). My questions for the group:
Section Setup: Is it better to create two separate courses and have each section occupy two periods (using the "Periods" checkboxes in Section setup), or is there a cleaner way to award 2.0 credits without cluttering the schedule with four identical entries?
Credit/Grading Tasks: Since we usually only do .5 credits, how would you suggest setting up the Course/Grading tasks so that the transcript reflects the full 2.0 credits correctly upon posting?
State Reporting: For those in Kansas (KS), have you run into any "minutes" or "FTE" issues when a single course covers 4 periods of the day?

We have A LOT of classes that earn 2.0 credits per semester and no problem with state reporting or minutes. I've attached a picture of the grading task set up - only semester is important for credit on the transcript part. Also in the file is a picture of how the section is scheduled. This building has a block schedule but that doesn't really matter for your purposes. Whoever builds the section (counselor?) will just mark the periods the kid is gone.
