<p>Does anybody know how many classes does the average person take at a semester school? What about the average amount of units? Sorry, I'm from the quarter system.</p>
<p>At my school, you have to take 12 to be full time, and you can't take more than 18 without special permission. The average is around 14-16, depending on your major. Some majors, all the classes have labs with them, so if you take 4 classes of 4 hours, that's 16 already. But some majors only have classes that are 3 hours, so you have to take like 5 classes (to total 15) to get a good amt of hours.</p>
<p>At my school 12-16 is full-time, anything above 16 is a lot more expensive. Some classes are 3 credits, but a lot of my technique classes are only 1 credit (meet twice a week, 1hr30mins each time), so next semester i'm taking 11 classes and it's only 15 credits (2 gen eds, 3 credits each, 1 dance academic- 1 credit, and 8 technique classes)</p>
<p>Hmm, the way both of you have describe it is the way my quarter system works. So... what's the difference in credits?</p>
<p>4 quarter hours usually converts to 3 semester hours.</p>
<p>A course that meets for 4 hours a week for the length of a quarter would only need to meet for 3 hours a week for the length of a semester.</p>
<p>This I believe is the generally established transfer policy.</p>
<p>That makes sense, thank you.</p>
