This is just off the net for US collegeYeah, it's not your fault. But semester literally means six months. Having three in a year is witchcraft. I checked the Cambgridge dictionary just in case, but it still says the same, even for the US.

"A typical college semester can be defined as fifteen weeks long, depending on the school. With a typical fifteen-week-long semester, the academic calendar is divided into three semesters. The fall and spring semesters will both be fifteen weeks long and the third semester, summer, will usually be shorter."
We don't do 6 month semesters here. Summer is normally a vacation for us unless you need extra courses or you failed something
