Work out remaining credits and semesters needed to graduate.
Counting credits in progress separately avoids double counting while still projecting from the expected position at term end. Semesters per year determines how the remaining terms map onto calendar time. Adding a summer term raises semesters per year and can shorten a degree by a full year, which this makes visible before committing to the extra load.
