I'm trying to fill in my coursework on OptomCAS and was wondering if "credit hours" are the same thing as units?

All of my classes are in "quarter units" so would 4 quarter units = 4 credit hours?

Thanks!

semester hours are NOT the same thing as credit units! Check with your school.
At my school, 1 credit unit = 4 semester hours.
 
OK.... so semester credits and quarter credits are THE SAME as semester units and quarter units, respectively.

BUT semester HOURS are different from semester units and credits, am I wrong?
 
keepitonthedl: You are wrong. Anything with the word "semester" in it is NOT equivalent to something with the word "quarter" in it.
I think credit hours on OptomCas are equivalent to semester hours. You should either call OptomCas or your school register to confirm this.
