# How to Assign Semesters in a Program
#### **Semesters**
A Semester is a fixed academic period used in universities to divide an academic year into smaller parts. Each semester represents a specific stage of study in which students take a defined set of courses and complete related academic activities such as lectures, assignments, and exams.
In most universities, a degree program is divided into multiple semesters (for example: Semester 1, Semester 2, Semester 3, etc.), and students progress from one semester to the next as they complete their courses
