<p>Students who graduate from high school and subsequently complete a minimum of 12 semester hours or 18 quarter hours during a regular term excluding summer school, at a regionally accredited college or university are considered transfer applicants. Students who complete fewer than 30 semester or 45 quarter hours are expected to submit high school records and SAT I and/or ACT scores for review.</p>
<p>What are semester hours or 18 Quarter hours?
Is that like 12 credits?</p>
<p>12 semester hours is the same thing as saying 12 semester units or 12 semester credits.
18 quarter hours is the same thing as saying 18 quarter units or 18 quarter credits.</p>
<p>“Hours,” “credits,” and “units” are all basically the same word and interchangeable. However, one needs to convert the TYPE of units (semester or quarter) to the same kind to figure out how many one has in all if one has units from both TYPES of academic systems.</p>
<p>(If you need to convert semester hour/credit/units into quarter hour/credit/units use a converter online, such as [Unit</a> Converter Tool](<a href=“Graduate Studies | Division of Graduate Studies & Career Development”>Graduate Studies | Division of Graduate Studies & Career Development) or use the formula: Quarter Units X .667= Semester Units.)</p>
