academic year
September through June
An academic year is the annual period during which students attend school or university, typically running from late summer or early fall through the following spring.
In the United States, this usually spans September to May or June, though the exact dates vary by institution.
The academic year is commonly divided into terms such as semesters, trimesters, or quarters.
Financial aid packages are calculated per academic year.
