Hello,

Lets say I was to retake a course such as histology. I got a C+ using under the semester system (4 credits). If I retook the class at another school under the quarter system, I would take 4 credits (class) + 2 credits (lab) = 6 credits. How would this grade replacement be considered for DO schools? Thanks!

They will most likely convert the quarter hours to semester hours and apply the "same or more credits" rule to see if your retake actually counts as one. You can ask the school's registrar the exact conversion.
