Semester Duration Calculator
How far through the semester you are, in days, weeks and percent — with the weekends that are left.
What is Semester Length?
“How long is left in the semester?” is the number behind most study decisions. Days and weeks answer the planning question; the percentage answers the psychological one, and the weekends remaining answers the question students actually ask — whether something can wait until the weekend.
How it works
Every date in the term is enumerated and today is located inside that list, so the first and last days each count once and the totals are exact. The percentage is days elapsed over days in the term rather than weeks over weeks, which keeps it honest for a short winter term. A term that has not started or has already finished is labelled as such instead of being reported as 0% or 100% as though it were mid-term.
