Hugh discussed different definitions of quarters. Actually<snip>
the federal government and most states have definitions of
quarters and semesters. Schools don't have to follow those
definitions, but if they don't it is supposed to have
implications for student financial aid. A quarter is 10
weeks of classes (i.e. an exam week would be an 11th week).
A semester is 15 weeks of classes (i.e. an exam week would be
a 16th week). In either system an academic year contains 30
weeks of classes. A fulltime student must carry at least 12
credit hours. A class is supposed to meet one class hour (50
minutes) for each credit hour.
