I visit a website regarding study abroad and found some terms that i could not understand. kindly help ??

Question

they asked me "WHAT TERM DO YOU WANT TO STUDY IN ?"

options were: Academic year, Fall, Not applicable, Spring, Summer, Trimester, Winter or throughout the year ?

what is the difference among Academic year, Fall, Not applicable, Spring, Summer, Trimester, Winter and throughout the year ???

Answer 1

Academic year means from fall to spring.

So, for next year that would generally mean Aug. 2008 to May/June 2009

Fall would be August - December 2008

Spring January - May/June 2009

Winter would be the winter months -- generally goes with a trimester, which is three academic periods in one year.
