Actually, the whole concept of a per semester minimum is foreign to me. Back in the old days, a few mandatory checkpoints were expected to be reached within reasonable time, but how you got there was entirely up to you.

Very liberal, but everybody I know who went through that system recognizes as familiar the occasional nightmares about university administration suddenly asking for some minor certificate one chose to indefinitely put off years ago. It's part of who I am, I would totally do it again.
