In order to determine halftime and full time status the conversion formulas are below:

The Quarter to Semester conversion is 2/3 or (multiply by.667). We do not round up and all credits are administered on the .5 interval. Example a 3-credit quarter course would be 2 Semester credits. When applying the conversion, it is rounded down to the nearest .5 and not up to the whole credit.

The Semester to Quarter conversion would be 3/2 or (multiply by 1.5). We do not round up and all credits are administered on the .5 interval. Example a 3-credit semester course would be 4.5-quarter credits. When applying the conversion, it is rounded down to the nearest .5 and not up to the whole credit.
