I have 96, which seems like it should be enough because it equals 12 credit hours per semester for 4 years. But I need 120.

120, standardized by the state for the entire system of colleges

If I pass all of these finals, I'll be graduating with exactly 121 and only because calc is 4 credits :beer:

I think it was 128, but I ended up with like 150... and I didn't really take any classes that I didn't need for my major (c.s.) or gen eds...

15 hours a semester is the norm for full time students

I attend a relatively small school, so it wouldn't be possible to take 5 classes per semester that were revelant to my major and/or minor.

128, but I ended up with close to 200 based on tons of transfer credits and not fulfilling specific requirements other than simply the number of credits.

My college was 120, but I ended up with around 150 because I had a double major.

191, BUT OSU is on quarters, not semesters.

A "regular" class, meaning the class met for 4 hours per week, was worth 5 credit hours.

If you took 16 credit hours a quarter, and didn't go to school during the summer...

16 credits per quarter, 12 quarters = 192 credit hours (one bonus credit hour! ;) )

When I started, we needed 128. They've since retooled the curriculum for my major and anyone who switched to the new catalog only needs 120.
