Quarter credit versus semester credit
A quarter credit is exactly one quarter of the calendar year, typically lasting 10 to 12 weeks. A semester credit is one half of the academic year, typically lasting 15 to 16 weeks.

Credits earned under the quarter system are to be converted to semester credits by dividing the number of quarter credits by 1.5. For example, two quarter credits equals approximately 1.3 semester credits.
