SEMESTER AND QUARTER UNITS
Most universities and colleges in the United States use the semester or quarter system and hence grant credit in semester units (s.u.) or quarter units (q.u.). For example, City College uses the semester system and grants credit in semester units; some California State University campuses and most University of California campuses use the quarter system and grant credit in quarter units. Two semester units are equivalent to three quarter units. Therefore, to convert semester units to quarter units, multiply the number of semester units by 3/2 (or 1.50); to convert quarter units to semester units, multiply the number of quarter units by 2/3 (or 0.667).
