An academic year refers to the annual period during which a student attends school, college or university. The school year can be divided up in various ways, which will be different in any countries.
An academic term is a division of an academic year, the time during which a school, college or university holds classes. These divisions may be called terms. The schedule adopted by institutions of learning or education systems vary widely. Common terms are :
– A semester system divides the academic year into two terms, roughly 15–18 weeks each.
– A trimester system divides the academic year into three terms, roughly 10–12 weeks each.
– A quarter or quadmester system divides the academic year into four terms, roughly 12 weeks each, and generally counts the summer as one of the terms.
In most countries, the academic year begins with the start of autumn and ends during the following summer. In Southern Hemisphere countries, this means that the academic year lasts from February or March to November or December; in Northern Hemisphere countries, it lasts from August or September to May, June or July instead. And the summer may or may not be part of the term system.
