A semester (from the Latin meaning six-monthly) has come to mean either of two academic terms, generally excluding the summer or January terms, if any, and so can be 12 to 20 weeks long. The word semester is sometimes used as a synonym for a term, as in a summer semester.

Semester length varies from school to school within a range of one to three weeks. Some community colleges still use the K-12 schedule, which consist of two 18-week semesters. U.S. universities have two intakes during the fall and spring semesters.
