The uni didn't give her two weeks off that was another part I misunderstood/misheard. We're in exam season until 31/01 so nobody has lectures until after that, just exams. However, her course is a only coursework course. Her deadline was last Friday so now that's over she has two weeks off of uni until everyone else's exams are over on 31/01 i.e. she doesn't have any lectures or anything for the next two weeks until they start up again after exam season.
