I know of only a few that use the quarter system, but I'm sure there are more:
Carleton College (Minnesota)
University of Chicago (Illinois)
U California system (not merced or Berkley)
Suffolk University
Rochester Institute of Technology (New York)*
Northwestern University (Illinois)
The Ohio State
Stanford University, too
* Rochester Institute of Technology (New York) will change to a semester system in 2013 so not worth going unless you can graduate before then.

It is because South University operates on a quarter semester system. 182 quarter hours equals approximately 121 semester hours or credit hours. Colleges and universities that operate on a semester system require between 120 and 128 credits.
what are quarter credit hours Quarter hours are offered at Colleges and Universities that are on A "Quarter Term System" rather than a "Semester" System.. Pure Quarter system has 4 college Terms per year.. or some colleges offer Trimesters or 3 terms per year and offer Quarter credits... 1 semester hour equals 2/3 of a Quarter hour or typically a 60-64 semester hour associates degree would be equal to a 90-96 quarter hour associates degree. Typically a Quarter term is 12 weeks and there are 4 Terms in the year.
The acronym MnSCU stands for the "Minnesota State Colleges and University Systems". The system includes 31 universities and colleges from the state of Minnesota.
CSUSB is ranked in the Top 25% of Universities in the United States and is on the QUARTER system.
It depends on where you are pursuing the degree and the academic semester system of the institution. Some institutions operate on a semester system, others on a quarter system, while others on a tri-semester system. For example, those colleges and universities that operate on a regular semester system a bachelor's degree can run between 120 to 128 credits. For those on a quarter system it could run approximately 180 credit hours. Thus, I believe the school your are referring to is on a quarter semester system where 180 credit hours would equal 120 credits for institutions that operate on a regular semester system. In this case the 180 credit hours would appear to be correct for a bachelor's degree.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a recognized educational board in India, but its recognition by colleges and universities in the United States may vary. US colleges and universities typically evaluate international educational credentials on a case-by-case basis. It is important for students applying to US institutions with CBSE qualifications to have their academic credentials evaluated by a reputable credential evaluation service to determine their equivalency in the US education system.
The definition of fall semester varies among different colleges and universities, but if they are on the semester system (not trimester), then the fall semester is usually August/September through December.
