Two semesters of a course equals 3 quarters, depending on the content, but there probably is no precise formula since Chicago does not consider quarter hours. Each course is worth 1 credit, no matter how often it meets. My guess is that they will use the placement tests, and individual review to decide. My S is planning on taking a summer course in chemistry at another university that provides 2 semesters or 3 quarters of credit condensed into 8.5 weeks. He has to get approval by the department chair prior to enrolling to ensure the credit will transfer. They will not automatically accept the credit.
