How do hours from an institution that operates on the quarter calendar transfer into Xavier Universitys semester system?
A minimum of 120 semester hours is required for a bachelor’s degree at Xavier versus 180-quarter hours at a quarter calendar institution. Xavier will accept two-thirds of the hours you complete at a quarter calendar school. For example, if you completed a quarter calendar course for three credits, you will receive two credits on the semester calendar. Please keep in mind that most of our semester courses are equivalent to three credits. At a quarter calendar school you should complete sequential courses within a given year. This will ensure that you will satisfy the requirement for the year on the semester calendar and not lose any credit.
