Made error in the tread title earlier, and that doesn't work well, as could be expected. So now, let's keep it clean and to the point.

Yes, I'm an alien idiot and have no idea.

Generally speaking, no. One could imagine a special summer course that includes some kind of weekend fieldwork assignments or a study-travel program. One could possibly make up the idea of a special weekend class for people who work during the week. Though it doesn't really happen, there is the possibility of a make-up session as classes had to be cancelled for a day or two for some reason - gas leak on campus or something like that...
 
Many of my environmental science (botany, geology, ecology) classes featured Saturday field trips to study landscapes. My astronomy classes had Friday and Saturday night observations. I started A Fall of Stardust with such an astronomy workshop.

None of these were classes as such, but were definitely schoolwork, not homework. Hey, if teacher is there and talking, it's a class, right?

To answer the OP: Yes, schedule a field trip for Saturday 14 July, which happens to be Bastille Day and National Nude Day. That's your bunny, right?

You guessed it right, in this case, it is. Field trip could work if I opted for a new story, but I'm doing lazy adaptation of earlier, raw and absurd sketch, and it doesn't really fit.

How about some super famous, super busy guest profesors who contribute to a special summer course, who just happen to be available just then, possibly after earlier cancellation?

There's two classes scheduled for her this day.

It may not really matter how or what for the story, it is just that girl lives in dorms, madly hurries to the first class (whatever, but the lector is an old freak, and it's probably math or something else boring and obscure, although she wants to attend it), then decide to skip it, spend some time at a cafe and park and later goes to the second (history of art, in this case it turns out to basically be slides show of ancient porn (I have not much work put in it yet tough)), just to discover that everyone on attendance is nude just like she is (and just as embarrassed, or so it appears to her, nobody can really explain why they are nude, it just so happened). It's just then she learns there is such a National Nude Day. (I'm not decided yet does the story end right there or continues with a huge party, depends mostly on how long it takes and becomes.)

I suppose I could just do not care about the glaring plot hole / anachronism planning her day like this (as I said, it makes no sense anyway), but it would be nice to put in few words explanation, however made up it is.

As it often happen, it is an absurdist (world suddenly goes nude) offshoot from another (unpublished) story, in with context that might have marginal sense (and kill the story due to overexposure to nudity), but it is not explained here because none of characters involved are aware of it anyway. Nude Day gives a chance of new meaning to the story, while in the original context (only I know about) it works as a good disguise. Well, it probably is worth to somehow point at that, but I don't want any unnecessary world building there.
