Spanish term or phrase: términos académicos
The context is an academic transcript (constancia de notas certificadas) from Venezuela. I am stuck on the above phrase which appears in the sentence:
"...están registradas las asignaturas que a continuación se indican, con sus respectivas calificaciones correspondientes a los términos académicos cursados en esta Universidad."

academic terms school terms


Explanation:
An academic term is a division of an academic year, the time during which a school, college or university holds classes. These divisions may be called terms. The schedule adopted by institutions of learning or education systems vary widely.

A semester system divides the academic year into two terms, roughly 16–18 weeks each.
A trimester system divides the academic year into three terms, roughly 14 – 16 weeks each.
A quarter or quadmester system divides the academic year into four terms, roughly 12 weeks each, and generally counts the summer as one of the terms. Hope it helps!
