The second suggestion is more straightforwards: That's always an option.

That alone would probably drop a number of graduated students.

Good point. Intentionally violating or going going school policies will lead to bad relations with the school administration. Never a good thing.

We could just shorten build season to 4 weeks. (or not.)
