<p>I understand that fall semester, like high school, has a duration from september to juneish. What about spring semester? Are there classes during summer then? Does sophmore year also start in spring?</p>
<p>Fall semester doesn't last all the way from September to June. It probably goes from September to December, and then spring semester probably goes from around January to May. I'm not in college yet, so I'm not certain, but that's what I've gathered so far. At least some school offer summer classes, but they aren't required. Sophomore year would start in the fall, just like freshman year.</p>
<p>Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was admitted spring semester.</p>
<p>Anyway, I was offered spring admission for one college. You are saying that I'll start my freshman year in spring of 2009 and my sophmore year, like any other students, in the fall? That means I'll start school one semester later than those admitted fall. What can I do to graduate in 4 years?</p>
<p>each school is different..some start in August, and End in May, others in Sept and end in June...</p>
<p>Generally, the semester changes around the new year, summer school is generaly optional</p>
<p>Oh, I get what you're talking about now. I'm not familiar with that sort of situation, but I'd guess that, assuming you took an average credit load, you'd begin sophomore/junior/senior year in the spring, graduate in the spring, etc. If you took classes over the summer or over multiple summers you might be able to get caught up to the people who entered in the previous fall.</p>
<p>Some colleges who accept spring admits have fall programs for them elsewhere--specially designed study abroads, for instance--that will let you earn credit and still graduate on time. Also check if your college takes AP or IB credits, and summer school is an option as well. With a combination of these options (and with careful planning to fulfill major requirements, etc.) it is often possible to graduate on time. Check with your college specifically, though, to think about how feasible it will be for you, if that's a real priority.</p>
