Semester Conversion - No Penalties
THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA'S COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS
The University System of Georgia pledges to students that they will not be penalized by the conversion to the semester system.
NO loss of credit. You will not lose credit as a result of semester conversion for any of the courses you have already taken. The quarter hours you have earned will be converted to semester hours and counted toward fulfilling your degree requirements. If you enrolled before fall of 1998, old and new catalog requirements will be combined, so you won't lose credits or progress toward degree completion.
NO change in current program requirements. You will not be required to take any more credits than your quarter program currrently requires.
NO delay in graduation. Your graduation date should not be delayed by semester conversion if you continue accumulating credit hours at your current rate. You may even graduate sooner than you originally expected.
NO increased costs. Your annual tuition and fees under the semester system will not be greater than they would be under the quarter system. The total cost for two 15week semesters will be approximately the cost of three 10-week quarters. Under the semester system, you will pay fees only twice a year.
