Question for Big Three Gads who Went on to Grad School

[dfrecore]

Some of us come to the "big three" with a ton of credits from previous attempts at college. Personally, I am having to start from scratch. What credits I do have are from an institution that was on a "quarter hour" system instead of "semester hours"; these translate at a steep "discount" and are basically worthless.

Just an FYI, quarter-system credits are not worthless - they are just calculated differently.  Remember that if you stayed at a quarter-system school, you would need 180cr, vs 120cr at a semester-system school.  The discount is not that steep: you multiply your quarter credits by 2/3 to convert to semesters.  I do degree plans for people who transfer from q-to-s all the time, it's not a big deal, and TESU will accept them as meeting the requirements many times (like, if you have to take 3cr in Diversity, and you took Sociology at a quarter school for 4cr, it would convert to 2.67cr and TESU would accept it, the requirement would be met, and you'd just need an additional .33cr in the GE Electives area.
