How much study time do you currently have for the college courses you are currently enrolled?

1.In the table below, please list your class schedule and total the number of credits.

Course Title / Credit Hours
Class Time Total Hours

2.Most college courses require 2 hours of study time for each hour spent in class. Use your Class Time Total Hours to calculate your study time per week.

Class Time Total Hours / X 2
Hours of study time for each credit hour
Total Hours of Study Time per week

3.Next, we need to calculate your travel time to and from college:

Daily Travel Time to and from college (in minutes) / Number of times you make this trip per week / Divide by 60 minutes to convert to hours. Round to the nearest whole hour / Total commute time in hours
X / /60 / =

4.Above are the additional hours required to attend college. Total your hours in the following table:

Type of college activity / Hours

Class Time
Study Time
College Commute Time
TotalCollege Hours

5.Please list, to the best of your knowledge, how many hours you spend a week on each of the following activities:

Activity / Hours per week
Work (including travel time)
Sleep
Meals (cooking, eating, and cleanup)
Hygiene (showers, dressing, etc.)
Housecleaning
Laundry
Visiting relatives and friends
Television viewing
Movies
Video Games
Other family activities (bicycling, hiking, traveling, games, etc.)
Other
Total hours per week spent on activities outside from college

6.Now, calculate the total hours per week needed for personal activities as well as college related activities:

TotalCollege Hours / TotalNon-college Hours / Total Hours Required in One Week
+ / =

7.How many total hours are there in one week?

Number of Hours in a Day / Number of Days in a Week / Total Number of Hours in a Week
X / =

8.If the Totals Hours Required in One Week (#5 answer) is greater than the Total Number of Hours in a Week (#6 answer), then you will need to make adjustments to your non-college activity schedule to accommodate your new college responsibilities. To help you accomplish this task, you will use an MS Excel spreadsheet. After you enter your information in the spreadsheet, you can adjust the activity hours until they are equal. Once complete, please print your Study Time spreadsheet and submit both documents.

With the proper amount time for college responsibilities, you will be on your way to graduation!
