Educational Terminology
The Academic Calendar in the US is almost the same for all universities, but initially, a foreign student might take time to adjust to the schedule. Normally, the academic year runs from early September to the end of May. The year maybe divided into 2 halves of 18 weeks each, called the semesters, or 3 parts of 12 weeks each, called the trimesters. Midway through the course, many teachers post mid-term grades so that students can gauge their progress.HomeWhy USACredit SystemUndergraduate EducationBachelors DegreeMBA Admission ProcedurePart Time MBA CollegesBest B SchoolsBS Application ProcedureBS Transfer ProcessBA in USMS Application ProcedureTop Engineering CollegesAssociate DegreePhD CurriculumPhD in USADoctorate Application ProcedureBest US UniversitiesAcademic CalendarFundingVisa Application ProcedureVisa DocumentsBooking AppointmentVisa FeeConsulates ListWork Permit for Indian StudentsTips To Cut ExpensesHealth CareCultural AdjustmentsOpening a Bank AccountAccommodationEducational BackgroundIndian Student AssociationsSTD Codes A-ISTD Codes J-MSTD Codes N-RSTD Codes S-ZFederal HolidaysEducational TerminologyIn addition to this, universities have six- to eight-week summer terms, which are optional. These terms help students get through their course faster, or reduce the workload during the term or help complete courses that they could not complete during the regular term.
Some of the activities that keep the students occupied are:
- Selecting courses
- Securing and settling into housing
- Joining fraternities
“International Nights” and “mixers,” where both, foreign and U.S. students are invited, can be a great way to meet new people and learn more about your surroundings.
Students should apply early enough to give themselves ample time to complete the formalities. Students should note that the Embassies and Consulates are able to issue your student visa 120 days or less, in advance of the course of study registration date.
The Department of Homeland Security regulation requires that all initial or beginning students (students just joining a course) enter the U.S. 30 days or less in advance of the course of study start/report date as shown on the Form I-20.
In case a student wishes for an early entry into the US, he must obtain a visitor visa. A prospective student notation will be shown on his/her visitor visa and the traveler will need to make the intent to study clear to the U.S. immigration inspector at port of entry. Before beginning any studies, he or she must obtain approval for a change to Exchange Visitor status, filing Form I-539.
The different programs in the US namely, Bachelor in Science (BS), MBA and Master's in Science (MS) follow a more or less similar calendar.

Hello Girishkumar,First you have to take TOEFL. Then appear for SAT. 89 is the minimum requirement in TOEFL. Try to get at least 1700 in SAT to qualify for good US university. Gather letter of recommendation from your school. Your essay should be touching. Extra curricular activity certificates should be attached with your application form. Select a good university with the help of someone who has an experience in US education field. Keep the money ready to spend on application fees, Councillor fees and tui
