Hi Cheri,
If it were a 3 quarter credit (2 semester cr) writing class we would require them to take an additional class – a 4 credit quarter class we would not as we would give them 2.67 sem credits – anything 2.5 and above we allow to meet the required credit. They still need to meet the overall number of total credits required so they would have to make up the difference. Does this make sense?

Subject: Question about Quarters
Greetings,
I met with officials from Chief Dull Knife a few weeks back and the question arose as to how the rest of us would manage their transfer students if they began again on the quarter-system, instead of semester-system.
They are looking at this as a way to retain students, but don’t want to ultimately disadvantage a student going on to additional educational opportunities.
I provided some information from AACRAO in general on conversions, but specifically the questions seem to center around the following:
· Credit slippage in general
· Credit slippage for specific programs
I indicated I would help by polling all of you to give them a broader response than simply my own.
For example – a student takes their Writ 101 for 4 quarter credits. For an institution that requires 3 semester credits in Writing – will you consider the requirement done for a general education course; and simply make up the total in the end for graduation credits; or will you require an additional credit (or partial credit) in writing to specifically meet that content ?
Thank you for your help!
Cheri
