Academics in Al-Akhawayn

As I researched my host institution of Al-Akhawayn, much of the academics and curriculum are the same especially the flow of the semester. However, the faculty and student relationships are different compared to Maryville College. At MC walking into a professor outside of class and conversing about topics other than class is a common occurrence. At Al-Akhawayn although you converse with professors outside of class, the topics of discussion may be limited. This goes for the classroom as well.

The workload is one thing I will have to learn quickly with. Al-Akhawayn does not have midterms or finals in class. It is a few assignments that are cumulative throughout the semester. So no room to procrastinate!

Credits are counted exactly the same as in the Maryville College curriculum. So 3 credit hours at Al-Akhawayn are equal to 3 credits at Maryville College. In fact, some courses are weighted in halves, mostly electives. This includes the letter grades as well. 

Unfortunately Al-Akhawayn, does not not have a version of the Career Center or the famous Noah Bowmen.  

They do however have Tech support and tutoring in the library.

How many credits do you have to enroll in to be considered full time at both your home and host institution? The amount of credits I need for both institutions are 12 to be considered a full time student, this translates to about 4 courses.
