A course at my school is worth 4 credits. However, my transcript doesn't list the number of credits that a course is worth. Instead, my transcript says "1 course unit" for every course that I take. Over the summer, I will be taking several courses at my local community college. Each course will be worth 3 credits. My question is: Will LSAC weigh these courses differently when calculating my GPA? That is, will they give greater weight to the 4 credit courses than the 3 credit ones? I initially thought that they wouldn't, because my transcript doesn't indicate that courses at my four-year institution are worth an extra credit than courses at my community college. But does LSAC have a record of how many credits a course is worth at every college?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Quick LSAC GPA Question
You'll have to contact lsac. But I assume your official transcript must list that the courses are 4 credit hours. Doesn't make sense that they'd not include the most standard part of a transcript.

Re: Quick LSAC GPA Question
I'm looking at my transcript now, and I don't see any mentioning of credits. It refers to only "course units," and lists every course as counting as 1 course unit.

Re: Quick LSAC GPA Question
LSAC should be able to take care of it. They probably have a cheat sheet for the myriad of different schools and grading schemes they have come through.
