  • Once the LPN has successfully completed NUS 214 they be awarded 2 credits for NUS 214 and 9 credits for NUS 110.

In order to determine halftime and full time status the conversion formulas are below:

The Quarter to Semester conversion is 2/3 or (multiply by .667). Drexel does not round up and all credits are administered on the .5 interval. Example a 3-credit quarter course would be 2 semester credits. When applying the conversion, it is rounded down to the nearest .5 and not up to the whole credit.

The Semester to Quarter conversion is 3/2 or (multiply by 1.5). Drexel does not round up and all credits are administered on the .5 interval. Example a 3-credit semester course would be 4.5 quarter credits. When applying the conversion, it is rounded down to the nearest .5 and not up to the whole credit.
