Pennsylvania Act 48
Beginning in 2009, Act 48 hours will now be credited based on actual number
of hours in class. Generally, 45 hours per three credit course and 60 hours per
four credit courses. Hours are no longer credited automatically, they must be
requested. Pennsylvania teachers requesting Act 48 hours must now supply their
PA Department of Education ID# on the first day of class. You may send your Act 48 ID to our
registrar now at
summermusic@villanova.edu to save time in the summer.
For those that have supplied their PA ID#, information regarding your courses
will be reported to the PA Dept of Ed. in early fall.
