Depending on the Ohio college or University you attended, you may have earned credits in either the "semester" or "quarter" systems. Academic quarters are shorter than academic semesters. The exact length of a quarter or semester depends on individual campus policies. You may need to convert your quarter hours earned into total semester hours if you are transferring to another institution. To convert quarter hours into semester hours, you merely need to follow a simple formula. You can use the formula to calculate the total number of hours earned towards a degree or the number of hours earned in a specific major or program.
