Salaam Sis,

why do u want to combine salat ? Does ur class routine permit u not to offer salat in time ?

سنن النسائي، كتاب المواقيت 609

عن ابن عباس أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يصلى بالمدينة يجمع بين الصلاتين بين الظهر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء من غير خوف ولا مطر قيل له لم قال لئلا يكون على أمته حرج

Rough translation: "Reported by Ibn Abbas that the Prophet :saws: used to pray at Madeenah, combining the prayers of Zuhr and Asr, and Maghrib and Isha, without (anything of) fear nor rain. He (the Prophet :saws was asked why; He (the Prophet :saws said so that there shouldn't be hardship on the ummah."

Salaam;

so Prophet pbuh offered noon salat at the last moment of the waqt/ time and offered Asr just when time begins ? Again he offered Magrib after one hour of sunset and then prayed Isa ?

Can anyone explain more ?

I think the OP is saying since he is a traveller can he combine his prayers but I'm not sure if that's what he's asking.

Combining of prayers is a disputed matter; while some schools opinions suggest its valid in all circumstances, others say its only allowed in extreme circumstances. Both have some evidence to back their claims, just like the Hadeeth I posted above; which states its allowed in any circumstances.
