Most schools are on semester systems.
In a semester program, there is usually a fall and spring semester and a summer program. Quarter hours of credit are our term for credits given in a particular course. If you take a 3-credit course with us, you earn 3 quarter hours of credit. One of the main advantages of a quarter plan is that our students have more opportunities to enroll in courses during an academic year. For information on how courses you took at a semester program convert to a quarter plan, contact an academic advisor or complete a transfer credit petition and send your official transcripts to us.
