Here at the University of Derby England we test all of our fire alarms in every fire zone on all our sites weekly, but from a different fire call point. This is a requirement of our fire certicates. The tests are carried out early Friday morning between 6.0 am and 8.0am. All staff are aware that test are carried out at these times.
Hope this helps.

I am looking for information on how the testing/inspections of Fire/Safety
systems are scheduled on other Universities. Is this testing conducted at
night, off hours, or just set off the horns in a fully occupied building
with prior notification?
Any information would be helpful.
