To log your hours means to write them down in a log, usually at work, probably on such form:

"Logging hours" in the context of your sentence would colloquially or metaphorically mean the hours spent in class and on doing schoolwork.

Logged here means spent, or occupied, even when the activity is not literally recorded in a journal or log.

In computer science, the verb phrases log in and log on mean enroll, or provide credential.
