When students transfer from a quarter system to a semester system, generally only two-thirds (2/3) of the credit will be taken. For example: you had 3 quarter hours in Public Speaking at your previous college. If this course were to transfer, you would receive 1.98 semester hours. However, if the Public Speaking course was 5 quarter hours, this course would probably transfer in as a 3 credit hour course and therefore meet the requirements of this program. Occasionally, we can combine similar courses to make up the deficit.
