Created by House Resolution 1384, the House Study Committee on Assessing the Semester and Quarter Systems at USG and TCSG Institutions will examine respective advantages and disadvantages of semesters and quarters for institutions of the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia and whether the anticipated benefits of converting to the semester system have been realized.
