The spring semester includes the longer Spring Term and the brief May Term; the May Term sometimes ends in May and sometimes in June. The summer semester has four subterms, but the retention for all four will be the same for ease of retention calculation. Use the chart below to determine the months to use for the start and end of the semesters or sessions.
