The student then has only five classes left to take and, provided they are available during the first five terms, the student can be finished near the end of January. There is an 11-day spring break between terms 7 and 8. There is also a four-day break at the end of each term. Thanksgiving break is four days, and the Christmas break is usually two weeks long. There are 36 break days each year.
Some students take the last block off so that they begin summer jobs early.
Others take Block 4 or Block 5 off, to extend their winter breaks. Of course, you could always take classes during you vacation blocks and graduate early.
