Semester 鈥渢ransition鈥� courses serve as content 鈥渂ridges鈥� between quarter and semester鈥搒ystem courses that form content sequences. Such transition courses are identified by the utilization of 鈥�9鈥� as the second digit of the four鈥揹igit semester course number (e.g. ENGL 220 offered in quarters becomes semester鈥搒ystem transition course ENGL 2920).

• A combined lecture/lab semester鈥搒ystem course will carry the 鈥淐鈥� suffix.

The 美高梅官网 converted to a computerized records system in the Autumn Quarter 1985鈥�86. The University continues to convert historical records to the same computerized records system. Coursework completed prior to the Autumn Quarter, 1985鈥�86, and which has not been transferred to the computerized file will be attached. Information pertaining to degrees awarded after conversion is embedded within the coursework.

The cumulative college average begins anew for students who transfer from one college to another within the University. Beginning with the Spring Quarter of 1992, a cumulative University average will be maintained containing all undergraduate courses taken while a student at the University. Grade point average is computed by dividing the quality points by the credit hours carried.

The quarter system became effective September 1963 except in the Ohio College of Applied Science and Ohio Mechanics Institute where it became effective September 1968. Credits earned in the Evening College from September 1963 to June 1967 are quarter credit hours even though they are listed under the heading "semester." Evening College operated during this period on a semester time period but reduced contact hours in the quarter system. Quarter credits multiplied by two thirds (2/3) equal semester credits.

The term system was effective in the cooperative colleges (College of Engineering; College of Design, Architecture and Art; and College of Business Administration) prior to 1963. The program consisted of six seven鈥搘eek academic terms. Term credits multiplied by seven sixteenths (7/16) equal semester credits.

The semester system was in effect prior to September 1963 and in the Ohio College of Applied Science聽and Ohio Mechanics Institute聽prior to September 1968 where a credit hour equaled one contact hour per week, per semester. Semester credits multiplied by one and a half (1陆) equal quarter credits.

The 美高梅官网 adopted a semester鈥揷alendar system effective with Fall Semester 2012. The semester-system divides the academic year into three main enrollment periods (fall, spring, and summer semesters), each comprising approximately 14 weeks of instruction and one week of final exams鈥攚ith the exception of summer semester when final examinations are held on the last day of instruction.

Students with both quarter and semester coursework will have a conversion calculation printed on the transcript immediately prior to the first semester entry.

Past term start and end dates from Autumn Quarter 1999 through the most recent past term can be found on our Past Academic Calendars page. Detailed calendars are available starting in Fall Semester 2019. For additional calendar system information prior to Fall 2019, please email us at registrar@uc.edu for assistance.

The 美高梅官网 Grade Replacement Policy allows a student to repeat 美高梅官网 coursework, with the final grade awarded for the most recent class enrollment calculated into the cumulative grade point average rather than the final grade awarded for the original class enrollment. The total number of replaced 美高梅官网 credit hours may not exceed 15 quarter hours or 10 semester hours. Students may repeat up to a maximum of five undergraduate quarter courses or four semester courses.

A 美高梅官网 undergraduate student who has been readmitted to the University after an absence of at least three years may be granted Academic Fresh Start. Upon the approval of Academic Fresh Start, a notation will be recorded on the student's record and the student's cumulative grade point average will be initiated from the date of reentry. The credit granted for prior work will be established by the student's college at the time of readmission and will be treated in accordance with the college's advanced standing policy.
