Further Information 

1.  Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation. Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points. For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units. Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops. For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits. The transfer of credits is decided by the doctoral programs or doctoral offices. Please contact them directly with any questions in this regard.
