how to transfer college credits from trimester to semester hours?
493034
The college you are transferring to will have a formula that they use.  You simply transfer, and they will ask for your transcript, and they will make the decision of how much credit you will get for each class.  In my experience, a 4 or 5 hour course from a quarter or trimester system converts to a 3-hour course for semester system, but you'll really have to wait and see.

It's usually 60 credits - 4 semesters of 15 credit hours each. (3 credits per class, or 5 classes per semester)

SURE!!! You can transfer to a university after going to a community college. If I were you, I'd first call the U of M and ask how many credits you can transfer, sometimes they have limits. Then you'll know how many and what classes you should take so that you won't waist your time.\nI hope it helps!!!

Normally 12 credit hours is considered attending full time, and is the amount recommended.  A lot of it depends on which classes you're taking.  If you have a number of difficult classes, I would say only take 9 or so credit hours.  If you have a number of easy ones, you could take up to 15.  Some schools have a set amount you have to take in order to get money for loans/ financial aid, so that would be something to check into.  Just make sure you don't try and overdue it, because you don't want ot take on more than you can handle, especially in the beginning.  You can always add more classes in for later semesters once you see how the first semester goes.  It's also a good idea to check if you have any classes you should take consecutively (such as a science class and a lab), as well as doing the prerequisite classes early so you can do the more advanced classes later.\n\n3 credit hours is normally equal to one class, although this can vary for electives and some other classes.

There's  a way, but  it's  gonna have to be the hard way:  you  need to go through the same, or a different college's Continuing Ed. division.  You need to take about 3-5 courses to prove you can get at least a 2.5 gpa, then re-apply into Matriculating status at that college in order to take courses that will actually count towards graduation.  Basically, you need to "prove yourself" again first before you're considered by the Office of Admissions.  Talk to the admissions' counselor and the Continuing Ed. Dept.'s counselors of whichever school you will try to apply again.  They're usually very understanding and helpful.\n\nGood luck !!!

Yes.  Take an unofficial copy of your transcripts to the college of your choice and meet with an academic advisor.  Their services are free and they can help you chart your academic coursework and advise you on your classes that transfer toward their degree program/s.  \n\nIf you do not yet know what you want to do, you can meet with the college career counselor and explore your options.\n\nBest wishes.

Usually, putting things like finacial aid and loans aside, the lowest tuition charged per credit hour is at your local community college, if you are in in-state (or in county, depending) resident. In fact, the deal can be so good there that some students chose to do their first two years at their local community college, get their associates, then transfer to a more expensive, four year university.

We need some additional information to project what your GPA is.  Here is how after you fill in the blanks.\n\nYour current GPA = 3.30 = Total Grade Points Divided By Total Hours\n\nYour final GPA = (Current Total Grade Points + This Semester Total Grade Points) / (Current Total Hours + 12 hours)\n\nAssuming that each of your classes are three credit hour courses AND that the courses are on a 4 point scale.  This semesters Total Grade Points would be 50 (2*3*3+2*4*4).\n\nPlug the 12, the 50 and your current information into the previous formula and you will have your final GPA.  Your current information can be found on your transcript.

Depends a lot on the college and their system of credits. \n\nThat said, 12 credit hours at a US school is full time, so half time would be 6-8 hours. That corresponds to 2-3 classes.

If you mean GPA like the last poster thought you did, then you assign A=4, B=3,...,F=0\nYou multiply each grade by the number of credit hours for the class and divide by total # of credit hrs taken (weighted GPA for college), or use the method above divide by total # of classes for high school GPA.

I'm starting college this fall and I have zero credits so far. I don't think there's a credit requirement in entering a college, unless you're transferring from another.

Do part evening classes, and part online classes. The online classes will work well for you b/c you can schedule this around your work schedule. \n\nI admire you for going back to get your degree. It's very important. And it's priceless.\n\nGood luck with everything.

College credits work this way:\n\nGenerally you get 1 credit for every half-hour per week of classwork (assuming you are a full time student on a semester basis). This is just lecture time, where the professor will get up in front of class and go through the material.  This does not include lab work, where you  work with a teaching assistant (TA) in smaller groups to answer questions and solve example problems. \n\nYou generally need to take about 14-16 credits per semester to graduate in four years.  Having said that, that's a pretty full-on course load for a Computer Science major.  If you can afford it, adding on an extra semester makes the load a lot easier to handle. \n\nCredit is specific to a given university/college/junior college and may or may not be transferrable to another university/college/junior college.  As a result, you need to do some homework as to which classes are acceptable up the chain of higher education.
