As RIT prepares to convert to semesters, there are a few things students will be discussing with their advisors:
- How their program will make the transition to semesters from quarters.
- This will be individualized based on what each student has taken in the past.
- How GPAs will be affected on the semester system.
- A Student's GPA will remain the same on semesters as it is on quarters.
- How many credits do my classes equal?
- Unlike on quarters where classes are typically 4 credits, most classes will carry a weight of 3 credits.
- How will my credits be applied in the semester system?
- Quarter credits to semester credits are calculated by multiplying the quarter credits by .67.
- What new courses will be offered?
- What old courses will be removed from programs?
- How many courses students should take during a given semester.
- The typical student will take 5 courses each semester.
- How will Tuition Fees be affected?
- Each student will pay the same total amount per year; however, each semester bill will be larger than a quarter bill has been in the past. But rest assured it is the same price.
