fall term
September through December
Fall term is the academic period beginning in autumn, typically running from late August or September through December.
In American higher education, it's interchangeable with fall semester, though "term" may indicate a shorter division of the academic year: I'm taking five classes this fall term.
Also called autumn term, especially in British usage.
