Deadline of UMichigan? Confused

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>I just look through the website of UMichigan and find its admission deadlines are written as:
"Fall Term Deadline - February 1*
Early Action - November 1
Winter Term Deadline - October 1
Spring Half Term Deadline - February 1*
Summer Half Term Deadline - February 1*"</p>

<p>I'm pretty confused by the terms it uses:
what is a "fall term deadline"? - is it the same as an "RD deadline"?
what is a "spring/summer half term deadline"?
what is a "winter term deadline"?</p>

<p>I checked out its website and found no answer. Can anyone help me with this question?
Many thanks.</p>

<p>It means you must submit your application by that date to be considered for admission during that respective semester. So if I apply before Feb 2, I will be considered for admission for the upcoming Fall semester.</p>

<p>Thanks MAG, but what does a “winter term” mean?</p>

<p>The semester that starts in January. Some schools call it Spring semester.</p>

<p>Michigan is on a tri-semester system. It splits its summer semester in two half terms – spring (starts in May) and summer (starts in end of June). Winter semester starts in January.</p>
