Students generally take 7 classes per term (including arts classes, not including PE). Each class has 4.5 contact hours per week: three 55-minute classes and an 85-minute "lab" class. Classes move around in the day so that no class is always at the same time; the grid indicates this with numbered and colored blocks. (First-year students usually find this intensely confusing, and even seniors are likely to keep a copy of the schedule grid tucked in their notebooks.) Classes end five minutes before the labeled end time (thus, at 25 or 55 minutes after the hour) to allow for "passing time" to the next class.

There are two PE blocks. Team sports take up both blocks; classes such as swimming, physical conditioning and mixed intramurals take up only one block, with the other free.

Gray areas with nothing written in them are free time. The two-hour block on Friday evenings labeled "(FEI)" is the dreaded Friday Evening Inconvenience study hall, assigned as a punishment for various minor infractions; students not assigned a FEI have that time free. (The other minor disciplinary assignment is Saturday Morning Work Detail, which runs from 6–8 AM and therefore doesn't fit on the grid.)

Times marked "study" are for quiet study in your dorm room (door open) or in an approved study location to which you have been signed out by your floor counselor.

Check-in is 30 minutes before lights-out; students must be in the floor lounge of their dorm floor, where roll is taken by the floor counselor. From then until lights-out is free time as long as you don't leave your floor. At lights-out, you must be in your room, door closed, no lights. There are a couple of room checks per night, but most floor counselors don't bother randomizing them or anything.
