Hey guys I am a Canadian student interested in applying to Pacific university for optometry. I was browsing ther application and it said to figure out gpa for last 45 semester hours (68 quarter hours). I have no clue what that means. I go to UBC and 1 class is equal to 3 credits. How do I convert credits to semester hours or quarter hours? Thankyou.
 
I'm assuming it's the same as here, but 1 credit hour is equal to 1 semester or quarter hour depending on how your school is set up. Hope that helps!
 
Thanks guys! So basically when they ask for last 45 semester hours, they are wanting the grades of our last ~15 classes.
