Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varied lengths There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who wish to
complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study
year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as well Many faculties complain that the eleven- week term is simply not enough for
them to cover the material required by most college courses Students also find it difficult to complete the
assignments in such a short period of time
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and
universities have instituted a three-term trimester system In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more
time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early
