Conversion of Quarter to Semester Hours

4030.1 General Policy

All quarter courses applicable to degree requirements will be counted toward semester degree requirements. The following will be applied for determining the conversion of quarter credit hours applicable to satisfying degree requirements:

Conversion of Hours Completed

When the conversion of credit hours completed results in a fraction, the number of credit hours will be rounded up for the benefit of the student. For example, a student with 92 quarter credit hours completed will have 62 semester credit hours completed, calculated in the following way:

92 quarter hours completed x 2/3 = 61 1/3 rounded up to 62 semester hours completed

Conversion of Hours Needed

When the conversion of credit hours still needed results in a fraction, the number of credit hours will be rounded down for the benefit of the student. For example, a student needing 94 quarter credit hours will need to complete 62 semester credit hours, calculated in the following way:

94 quarter hours needed x 2/3 = 62 2/3 rounded down to 62 semester hours needed
