Holidays and Closure Periods

Holidays

Staff members are eligible for nine Holidays per calendar year: New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Friday following Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and a Floating Holiday.

When a designated University holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is observed as a holiday; when the holiday falls on Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed as a holiday. Find further details on the Holiday policy on the APPM.

Closure Period

Staff members are given time off with pay between Christmas Day and New Year's Day, except in operational units where it is determined that services must be continued during this closure period. Staff members who are required to work during the Christmas/New Year closure are given compensatory time off at a later date, except Public Safety sergeants and lieutenants working in a uniformed capacity, who will receive overtime pay (time and a half). Find further details on the Christmas/New Year policy on the APPM.

The following are the holiday and closure periods for the remainder of 2022 and a full calendar year for 2023.
