Credits for RSL study
RSL generally includes at least 20 academic (contact) hours of group language study per week. In a few schools it might be more. An academic hour is 40 minutes. This equates to roughly 14-16 credits per semester (of at least 15 weeks). If you are studying for a custom period, then you can use the rough equation of approximately 20 academic hours per credit.
