I attened Foothill College which is on a quarter system and I am transferring the units to Antelope Valley College which is on the semester system. SDSU website said to multiply the quarter units by .66 or 2/3 but is that the same thing for every college or does each college use other methods?

None of these answers is correct (given the way you stated the question) -- though the one who said 2/3 has the right reasoning.
The answer is 1.5 quarter credits per semester credit (3/2 -- not 2/3). Think about taking a one year course that has three units per class. You will take three classes of three units each in a quarter system (for nine credits) -- but in a semester system you take two classes of three credits (for six semester credits). The class time is the same -- so nine quarter credits equals one semester credits.
This means that you should multiply your quarter credits by 2/3 to see how many semester credits you have.

Most colleges use the 2/3 methods. One of the reasons is class length. Semester system schools normally go about 15 weeks while schools on the quarter system go 10.
