The word "semester" is generally not capitalized unless it is part of a specific title or name, such as "Fall Semester" or "Spring Semester." When referring to a semester in a general sense, such as "I will take that course next semester," it should be written in lowercase. Always check specific style guides, as conventions may vary slightly.
One credit hour of class contact time per week equals on credit for the semester. If a course is listed a a three credit course, that means it will meet for three hours per week for the semester. This however, is for a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic years. If you look at this in total hours for the semester, it is approximately 48 hours of class contact time for a three credit course for the semester.
No you can plan during your first semester and make your decision at the beginning of the second semester.
