Completing pre-requisites on a quarter system

Hello!

I graduated from a school that went by a semester system and I am now in the process of completing pre-reqs at a school that is on the quarter system. In terms of the 6 semester hours of psychology as a pre-req, how do I go about fulfilling this requirement on a quarter system? I have already taken general psychology during my undergrad, so that counts for 3 semester credits. However, I need to take developmental/abnormal psychology which is a 4 quarter credits at the school I am taking courses at. This equals only 2.7 semester credits. Do I need to take another psychology course to meet this requirement, or will schools accept this one course on the quarter system? Does anyone have experience with this or have been in my situation?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm just trying to get my bearings since I am really trying to save as much money as I can!

Hi there! I ran into this same issue with the quarter system. I spoke with some of the schools I applied to and a couple said 2 quarters were okay but most said you had to take 3 quarters of psychology.

Another issue I ran into with the quarter system is that if you have 2 quarters left of a course opposed to 1 semester this still looks like you have 2 uncompleted pre-reqs instead of one. So to deal with this issue I found an in-state community college on the semester system where I could take it online.

Hope that helps!
