What does semester units mean?

[186]

I currently have 18 credits, and I want to finish my pre-pharm in CA. However, they go by semester units. How many semester units are there in 18 credits?

1 semester unit = 1.5 quarter units

 

[Farmercyst]

1 semester unit = 1.5 quarter units

and unit=credits so convert accordingly [should be 12 if you take 18/(3/2)]

and unit=credits

1sem unit= 1 credit?

 

[nerv12345]

if you're at a semester school and they say "5 units" that means "5 semester credits"

if you're at a quarter school and they say "4 units" that means "4 quarter credits"

and like farmercyst stated, they both mean the same thing

If your school goes by quarters: 1 unit = 1 credit = 1 quarter credit/unit.....

If your school goes by semesters: 1 unit = 1 credit = 1 semester credit/unit.....

If you are converting semesters to quarters: multiply semester credits x 1.5 = quarter credits
