Question about GPA "Hours"

[Mrxle3]

Hi guys. I don't quite understand the concept of the Hours column in the AADSAS gpa calculations. Can anyone explain it to me? I always thought that hours is synonymous with credits, but apparently I am wrong. For instance, I've taken only 4-unit biology classes so far, yet my Bio Hours is a decimal. Can anyone help me out?

I believe they translated your quarter hours to semster hours

Yeah, semester hours are the standard that makes it easy for schools to compare your workload as well as how far into the degee you are. Most schools require 90 credit hours (or semester hours) for matriculation.
