Quarters to Semesters Transition 

Welcome

 

In Fall of 2012 Ohio University will be transitioning from a quarter to a semester-based calendar. The transition from quarters to semesters (Q2S) should be understood in light of three general assumptions.

1.   The transition should be viewed as an opportunity to engage in a comprehensive review and revision of the curriculum. Among the goals of this process will be to better align the curriculum with the goals of Vision Ohio.

2.   The transition should be neutral.  This includes both the size and structure of the curriculum and the resources needed to deliver that curriculum to the same number of students.

3.   The transition must be coordinated. The conversion's success, given the interrelated character of the curriculum and specific program requirements, depends on departments/schools consulting with one another in a coordinated way to ensure that their curricular revisions do not adversely affect the resources of another academic unit.
