Since it takes 12 credits to graduate, even if you play on Long, it is advised you turn aging off while your Sim(s) are at uni. That way they still have lots of life to live after graduation. :)

@GalacticGal Could you give me an idea of how many "years" one credit takes?

One term lasts for one week (or to be exact, 5 workdays).
Now the credits are almost same like in The Sims 3. When you enroll your sim, you can choose up to four classes to your sim (1-4 core classes and 1 optional elective on a skill). When a term ends, each class your sim has earned a passed grade for counts as one credit. You can also get extra credit when you participate in student organization events (your sim must be a member first).
If you keep taking the same amount each term, the lenght of the university will be this...

• 1 class = 12 weeks
  
• 2 classes = 6 weeks
  
• 3 classes = 4 weeks
  
• 4 classes = 3 weeks

Of course you can have your sim take more or less classes the next term.

In short, university works much differently than in The Sims 2.
