What are terms and how are they different from semesters?

Every academic year is made up of five 9-week terms. Essentially, two terms fit within a traditional spring or fall semester with the 5th term equaling a traditional summer semester. Terms 1 and 2 equate to a Fall semester, Terms 3 and 4 equate to a Spring semester and Term 5 equates to a Summer semester.

When are the terms and when can I register? What other important academic and financial aid/business affair dates do I need to know?
