Credits: Quarter vs Semester Hours
Western Oregon University operates on the quarter system (or terms) which divides the calendar year into four quarters, three of which constitute a complete academic year. Fall term runs from late September to mid-December, winter term from early January to mid-March, and spring term from late March or early April to mid-June. WOU also offers an optional summer session.
The semester system divides the calendar year into two semesters of 15 weeks each. Most universities on this system have a fall semester from late August to mid-December and a spring semester from early or mid-January to early or mid-May. Many also offer an optional summer session.
Academic credit earned in quarter hours converts to semester hours at 2/3 of its value, so 3 quarter hours = 2 semester hours.
Credit earned in semester hours converts to quarter hours at 3/2 of its value.
