Academic Year Information

How the Academic Year Calculator Works

The academic year calculator determines which academic year, semester, or term a given date falls into based on your school's calendar system. Here's how it works:

  • Academic Year Start: Most schools start in September (Northern Hemisphere) or January/February (Southern Hemisphere). Select the month your academic year begins.
  • Semester System: Choose between Semester (2 terms), Trimester (3 terms), or Quarter (4 terms) systems.
  • Year Calculation: The calculator determines which academic year (e.g., 2024-2025) the date belongs to based on the start month.
  • Term/Semester: Shows which term or semester the date falls in (Fall, Spring, Summer, etc.).
  • Term Dates: Displays the start and end dates for the current term and academic year.

This calculator is essential for students planning coursework, teachers organizing curriculum, and administrators managing academic calendars.
