Not making students wait to earn a grade

Looking at course scheduling from a flip side: in a semester system, we are making students wait 15/16 weeks before earning a grade. Why? Why can't they complete the 45 hours of instruction sooner? 
Well, they can. It deals with having the instruction and assessment separate. As long as we can account for those hours, then it should be ok for them to assess for the student learning outcomes.
