Below is a credit chart that shows conversion of credit hours from quarter to semester hours. Please note that currently only 2 of the NEXus member schools operate on the quarter system; Loma Linda University (LLU) and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). If you have concerns about how a course may transfer/transcript back to your home school, contact your Graduate School or Registrar’s Office for further clarification.
The formula to convert quarter credit hours to semester credit hours is: Number of quarter credit hours x 0.6667 = Number of semester credit hours. A quick reference table is listed below.
