syllabus week

Course overview period

Syllabus week is the first week of a college semester, when classes typically involve reviewing the course syllabus rather than doing substantial work.

Students treat it as an extended social period before real academics begin: Syllabus week is basically just going out every night.

The phrase carries an expectation of light workloads and heavy partying.
