Credit Hours

The majority of students are able to receive credit through their college or university.



Although CMERA does not directly provide credit hours toward your degree we will assist you by providing any documentation your school may need to grant credit for your time with us. Students are advised to discuss receiving credit with your school advisor. Most institutions offer hours listed as independent research or directed study for this kind of summer opportunity. They may also require you to attend a certain number of weeks in order to be eligible for credit. We will provide you a letter of completion or other confirmation that may be required by your school.
