Washington University will update the “10-minute rule” for scheduling next semester. Starting in the fall, classes will officially end 10 minutes earlier instead of beginning 10 minutes after the listed start time.

The rush to get to class from Seigle to Brown will be a little easier in the fall of 2012. The Washington University administration has approved a plan to change the time between classes on the Danforth Campus to 10 minutes. The current passing time is seven minutes.
