We celebrate fourteen (14) holidays, three (3) of which are observed by staff only. Those holidays are designated as optional and the University is open for classes and offices are staffed to provide required services.  Holidays which fall on a Saturday are observed on the Friday immediately preceding the date and holidays which fall on Sunday are observed on the following Monday.
