Well,

I called my university and they said that 1 unit = 3 quarter hours.

Then i called the two community colleges that I transfered course work from and they said that 1 semester unit = 1 hour

So...

For a 3 unit class at my university (that goes by the quarter system) = 90 quarter hours

Correct? (3 units x 3 x 10 weeks)

Now for community college...HERE is where i'm confused:

For a 5 unit class at community college based on the semester system = 80 semester hours?

What I don't understand is that on my community college transcript one of my classes is listed as 5 units whereas on my university transcript where it was transferred to, the class is 7.5 units.

Do I convert the community college class based on the 5 units and the 1 hour per unit conversion

OR

Do I convert the community college class based on the 1 unit = 3 hours quarter system conversion and do I multiply that by 7.5 units listed on my university transcript????

Please help....

Or wait,

Do we just list the units as they are on the transcript and AADSAS converts them for you?
