Universities offer either quarter credits or semester credits. One five quarter credit course at PSU converts into approximately three semester credits. Registrars and school boards simply multiply quarter credits by two-thirds. For example, if you complete all nine courses (45 quarter credits), you will earn the equivalent of 30 semester credits. In both cases, this is the equivalent of one full year of university. E.g., One 5 credit course equals 3.3 semester credits (5 x .66 = 3.3).
