Credit System Transfer Ratio
The number of transfer credits awarded is dependent on the original institution’s credit system. Credits from an institution on a quarter credit system will transfer in at a ratio of two-thirds semester credit for each quarter credit on a course-by-course basis, rounded to the nearest whole credit. Aspen University measures courses in semester credit hours. Converting clock hours to credit hours for the purpose of transfer credit is calculated as follows; one semester credit hour is equal to 45 clock hours. Example: 100 clock hours is equivalent to 2 semester credit hours. Conversions will be rounded to the nearest whole credit.
