How it works
Multiply semester credits by the ratio to get quarter credits. A ratio of 1.5 is a common starting point, since one semester credit is often worth about one and a half quarter credits.
The school you transfer to sets the real ratio, so confirm it with their transfer office before you plan around it.
Worked example
45 semester credits at a ratio of 1.5 come to 67.5 quarter credits.
Questions
Is the ratio always 1.5?
No. Many schools use 1.5, but some use a different value, so check the receiving school's policy.
Will the converted credits count toward my degree?
That depends on the receiving school's rules, which decide what transfers and what counts toward a major.
Can I convert quarter credits back to semester credits?
Yes. Divide by the same ratio, since that reverses the conversion.
