Maybe someone has an idea on how this will work out. I emailed unc over a month ago to clarify my current number of accounting credits. I took the (2)intro accounting courses under quarters and now we have switched to semesters. 5 quarter hours = 3.3 semester hours. For a total of 6 or 6.6 credits? They have syllabi for each class and transcripts. I would like to use this time to knock out a few credits and keep my options open at the same time. I did send a follow up email about 2 weeks ago, with no success. I guess it is time to call.
I was on quarters and had to do a conversion as well. It might be too late to answer your question, but I believe 1Q hour = 0.7 semester hours. Therefore, if you take around 16 or 17 quarter hours of accounting classes, you should still be straight. For example, I remember that I took 16 accounting credits on my quarter system (the intro fin/managerial classes and then an intermediate financial and cost accounting class) and I was still eligible, but just barely. That's how UNC converts it and I went with that because my school didn't have any special conversions for situations like that. If your school does, however, I believe UNC goes with your school's calcs vs theirs but I could be wrong.
