ATHENS: Ohio University is switching to semesters.
Trustees on Friday approved the change beginning in the fall of 2012.
Officials at the university in Athens have been considering switching from quarters to semesters for years, but they recently stepped up their efforts in response to a call by state higher education Chancellor Eric Fingerhut.
Fingerhut has said he wants all public colleges in Ohio to adopt a common academic calendar to make it easier for students to transfer or participate in exchange programs.
Only four of the state's 14 four-year public colleges are on the quarter system: Ohio University, Ohio State, the University of Cincinnati and Wright State.
Tuition and fees at Ohio University will remain the same under a semester-based calendar. Students also will receive the same amount of financial aid per year.

Now, please do something about the tuition at public colleges in Ohio. The cost at OU for in-state students living on campus is $18,000, plus books. How is a family with only a moderate income supposed to send their kids to college? Sure there are scholarships and financial aid available, but so many people graduate and are immediately in a world of debt due to student loans.
