Does a 1 semester high school course count for a whole credit?

Question

I'm thinking about taking a 1 semester literature course, 1 semester grammar review course, and 1 semester economics course, and 1 semester computer course of some sort in my junior year. I was wondering if these classes would suffice as a full high school credit for collage or only half a credit b/c its half a year. THe courses are online so here is the address:

Answer 1

no half

Answer 2

economics does,everything else counts as 1/2 credit. Unless your doing to lit classes.

Answer 3

at my school any semester class counts as a half credit

Answer 4

Instead of semesters these should be based on hours.  The high schools in our system are on block scheduling which means all courses are one semester only.   Classes last about 1 hour 45 mins.   One full credit is given for each subject.   I looked at the listings and the classes are  1  1/2 hours long, therefore can count as one credit.

Answer 5

A semester course would be a half credit, unless it was a two hour block class of some sort.
