term-time
When classes meet
Term-time is the period when schools or universities are in session, as opposed to holidays or breaks.
The word is more common in British than American English: During term-time, the library stays open until midnight.
As a modifier, it describes things that apply only while classes are running: term-time employment, term-time address.
