Hey, Im 21, I took a large break from school, I got accepted to college 2 years ago but didn't wanna go. So up until now I have just been working/chilling. I got accepted to UTM for this sept, I wanna finish uni in 2013 though instead of 2014.

Anyway, a summer session is 4 months right? So my first 2 academic years I would do a summer session and then my final one I would just have a normal 8 month academic year and I will graduate when Im 24. So can a student do this?

You need 20 credits (full-time courses, or 20 part-time) to graduate. Typically most students take 5/year in Fall/Winter. 6/year is a heavy workload. During summer you can take another 1.5/year. It is possible to graduate early but it would be hard work.
