So I took a few bcpm courses in undergrad on the quarter system. I'm doing a post bacc at a school with semester courses. To calculate my sGPA do I convert the quarter credits to semester credits?

Multiply by 2.6666666 if they're counted as "1 credit" like at my school

1 semester credit = 1.5 quarter credits
1 quarter credit = 1/1.5 = 0.667 semester credits

Aren't semester schools in hours and not credits? I take my quarter school credits and add my semester school hours and divide by 2.67
