Enter the total number of credit hours and the total number of weeks into the Contact Hour Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Contact Hour. 

Contact Hour Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Contact Hour.

COH = CH / (W/15)

Variables:

  • COH is the Contact Hour (contact hours per week)
  • CH is the total number of credit hours 
  • W is the total number of weeks 

To calculate the contact hours per week, divide the credit hours by the number of weeks, then multiply by 15.

How to Calculate Contact Hour?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Contact Hour.


  1. First, determine the total number of credit hours. 
  2. Next, determine the total number of weeks. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = COH = CH / (W/15).
  4. Finally, calculate the Contact Hour.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total number of credit hours = 2

total number of weeks = 15

COH = CH / (W/15) = ?
