Is Ohio University still committed to the switch from quarters to semesters?
Yes. Executive Vice President and Provost Kathy Krendl explained that all of the public universities in the state currently on quarters — Ohio University, Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati and Wright State University — are in the process of transitioning to semesters. The decision was based on guidance from the state level that strongly recommends moving toward a shared calendar across Ohio so that students can more easily transfer from one University System of Ohio institution to another. Costs associated with the transition will come from one-time funds, not from the base budget.
