How it works
Subtract the credits you have earned from the credits required. If the result is above zero, divide it by the credits you take each term and round up to get whole terms.
Some programs require specific courses as well as a total. This counts credits only.
Worked example
With 36 credits left and 15 credits a term, you need 3 more terms.
Questions
Where do I find the credits required?
Your program's catalog or degree audit lists the total. Check it, since requirements can change from year to year.
Do transfer credits count?
Often they do, but the school decides how many. Enter the total after your transfer credits are posted.
What if I take a lighter term?
Fewer credits per term means more terms to go. Try a few values to see the difference.
