Semester Conversion Information
Otterbein will convert from quarters to semesters in Fall 2011. For information about how current students will finish their INST requirements, you may click here Advising Students for Semester Conversion. Further assistance with semester transition issues is available through the Center for Student Success.
For those students who will not be up to date by the end of the 2010-2011 academic year with the INST requirements for their class standing (for example, a first-year student should have completed INST 100/105/100, INST 150, and an INST social science elective), there will be courses available on semesters to help them catch up on any missing requirements. For those equivalencies, see the charts below. To see which courses are offered in upcoming terms, view the Course Schedule site.
