Holiday Leave

The times you spend with loved ones eating a good meal, reflecting on the year or in celebration, are an important part of life. As a full-time university employee, you receive paid holidays, including the following:

• New Year's Day
• Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
• The Thursday of Spring Break
• The Friday of Spring Break
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• The Friday before Fall Break
• Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of  Thanksgiving week
• Veteran’s Day (observed during Winter Break)
• Christmas Eve Day
• Christmas Day
• President's Day (observed during Winter Break)
• Your birthday (observed during Winter Break).

When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed as the holiday. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed as the holiday. If December 25 falls on a Saturday, the following Monday is observed as the holiday. If December 24 falls on a Sunday, the preceding Friday is observed as the holiday.

Separate from the above holiday schedule, the campus is closed between December 23 and January 2, for Winter Break. Each day during Winter Break that is not a designed holiday will be considered as one day of annual leave.
