Sees term changed for an academic term (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

semester

'an academic term' is the definition.
(semester is a kind of academic term)

'sees term changed' is the wordplay.
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'sees'+'term'='seesterm'
'seesterm' with letters rearranged gives 'SEMESTER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for semester that I've seen before include "School half-year" , "Steers me towards university term" , "part of the school year" , "study period" , "College half-year" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
