How to Determine Units
You may earn from 1 – 4 units of general college credit per participating semester. You may earn a maximum of 16 units from this program. The number of units requested from the program is dependent upon the number of on-the-job hours completed during the participating semester. If you do not meet the minimum required on-the-job hours for the units requested, you will receive non-credit for the units requested on the OWE application. You must also declare that your employment is PAID or UNPAID/VOLUNTEER and may not earn OWE units under both categories simultaneously.
| Paid Employment Status | Unpaid/Volunteer Employment Status |
|---|---|
| 75 hours completed on the job = 1 unit | 60 hours completed on the job = 1 unit |
| 150 hours completed on the job = 2 units | 120 hours completed on the job = 2 units |
| 225 hours completed on the job = 3 units | 180 hours completed on the job = 3 units |
| 300 hours completed on the job = 4 units | 240 hours completed on the job = 4 units |
