A US academic term for the brief break between semesters or terms -- often a few weeks in January or between spring and summer sessions. Some institutions use the period for accelerated intensive courses that would be impractical during a standard semester. The term is standard in American higher education but may not be recognized outside North America, where semester breaks are described in different ways.
