gap hour
Empty time slot
A gap hour is an unscheduled period between classes or obligations, typically in a student's day: I have a gap hour between chemistry and history.
The term implies time that's free but not quite long enough to go home or accomplish much—often spent studying, eating, or killing time on campus.
