Credit Hours to Quarter Hours Calculator

Formula

The formula to convert Credit Hours (CH) to Quarter Hours (QH) is:

\[ QH = CH \times 1.5 \]

To convert Quarter Hours (QH) to Credit Hours (CH), use the formula:

\[ CH = \frac{QH}{1.5} \]

Where:

Credit Hours (CH): Units of measurement used in semester-based systems to quantify the amount of coursework a student has completed.
Quarter Hours (QH): Units of measurement used in quarter-based systems to quantify the amount of coursework a student has completed.
Significance: Credit hours and quarter hours are used in educational institutions to quantify the amount of coursework a student has completed. Credit hours are typically used in semester-based systems, while quarter hours are used in quarter-based systems. One credit hour usually represents one hour of classroom instruction per week over a semester, whereas one quarter hour represents one hour of classroom instruction per week over a quarter.

Let's say you have 10 credit hours. Using the formula:

\[ QH = 10 \times 1.5 = 15 \]

So, 10 credit hours is equivalent to 15 quarter hours.

Conversely, if you have 15 quarter hours, using the formula:

\[ CH = \frac{15}{1.5} = 10 \]

So, 15 quarter hours is equivalent to 10 credit hours.
