Answers. Best Answer: It depends on how long each semester is at any particular school. For example, at the university where I work at, a semester is 16 weeks long. Take into consideration holidays, a semester is roughly 75 days long. The length of the semester depends on the school and the observed holidays. Best wishes!
The semester system divides the calendar year into two semesters of 16 to 18 weeks each, plus summer sessions of varying lengths. The two semesters together constitute 32 to 36 weeks of instruction, so that three academic quarters equal two academic semesters. Thus, academic credit earned in quarter hours converts to semester hours at 2/3 of its value, while credit earned in semester hours converts to quarter hours at 3/2 of its value.
