Semester/Quarter units - So confused!

College Search & Selection Community Colleges

<p>The community college I'm planning to sign up for has fall, summer, winter, and spring classes, so that means it's based on the Quarter system, correct? </p>

<p>In order to transfer to a UC, I need 90 quarter units. Each class is probably worth 3-5 credits. So I need to take how many classes each quarter in order to transfer within 1.5 years? </p>

<p>EDIT: If I got 3 on my AP Biology exam from high school, does it count towards the 90 quarter units?</p>

If you want to finish in 5 quarters (1.67 years): 90 / 5 = 18 credit hours per quarter; or 6 3-credit classes; or 3 5-credit classes and 1 3-credit class.</p>

<p>If you want to finish in 4 quarters (1.33 years): 90 / 4 = 22.5 credit hours per quarter; or 3-credit classes and 1 5-credit class; or 4 5-credit classes and 1 3-credit class.

It’s depend on your school.</p>
