Semester and Quarter credit hours
Ohio University is on a
"quarter credit hour" system. Most colleges and universities are on a "semester credit hour" system. We use the terms "hour" and "credit" and "unit" interchangeably.
We equate semester hours to quarter hours at the following rate
:
1 semester hour = 1.5 quarter hours
A 3 semester hour course will transfer to Ohio University as a 4.5 quarter hour course.
