Are there any difficulties associated with transferring credits if the college I am transferring from has a semester based system and the college I wish to transfer to has a quarter based system?
(forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask)

For sequenced courses, if you complete only part of the sequence, you may have to partially repeat the material due to division being different.
For example, frosh single variable calculus is normally 30 weeks of instruction. In a semester system school, it comes in two 15-week semesters (1-15, 16-30). In a quarter system school, it comes in three 10-week quarters (1-10, 11-20, 21-30). If you transfer in with one semester (1-15) but need to take more, then you would have to start with the second quarter (11-20), needlessly repeating part of it (11-15).
