Quarter credit hours represent proportionately less work than semester hours due to the shorter terms, about two-thirds of a semester credit hour. Thus, a bachelorâs degree at an institution on the quarter calendar may require a minimum of 180 quarter hours, which compares to 120 semester hours.
CASPA calculates all GPAs in semester hours. If any of your courses were completed in quarter hours, CASPA converts these to semester hours on your GPA charts. The conversion ratio is 1.0 quarter hour = 0.667 semester hours. CASPA breaks down your GPA by college level, not by college.
