MEMORANDUM

This announcement provides information relating to the University's observance of official recognized holidays for Calendar Year 2005.

We realize that any one observed holiday may be less than ideal for certain areas where we expect customers to require our services.  In those instances, essential University services should be maintained and compensatory leave awarded to those required to work.  Employees who must work on a holiday should be given adequate advance notice for personal planning purposes.  Questions regarding the provision of essential customer services should be directed to your respective vice president.

If the Governor grants any additional holiday time during the year, this time will be applied to employee leave balances as compensatory time (float time) and must be used within 12 months from date awarded.

Below is the Academic Division Holiday Schedule.
