Winter Holidays
The College will close at noon on Friday, December 18, 2026, and reopen on Monday, January 4, 2027. As with all College closure periods, we recognize that several departments will have activities, service requirements, or varying shift schedules during the Winter Holidays and will need to continue to have their offices fully operational and staffed during these times. In these cases, the department supervisors will determine possible alternative flextime. For those departments (other than Public Safety), the official full closing dates are Christmas Eve December 24), Christmas Day (December 25), New Year's Eve (December 31), and New Year's Day (January 1). |
