<p>Does Michigan run on semesters or quarters (trimesters)? And how many credits are you allowed to take without having to pay extra; also, how many is average?</p>
<p>trimesters.. max 18 without paying more.. and most people take around 14-16..</p>
<p>I thought we do semesters...</p>
<p>nah.. apparently our academic calendar is considered trimester.. im guessing its because we have fall term, winter term, and spring/summer term.</p>
<p>No, michigan's on semesters. And there is a spring and summer term too, both separate. So technically you can take 4 "semesters" in a year.</p>
<p>Normal students only do Fall and Winter semesters. There are two half-terms inbetween (Spring and Summer) that you can optionally stay for.</p>
