Mark your calendars for upcoming UA Holidays

The university observes twelve holidays annually, with the next one being Labor Day on Monday, September 2, 2024.

This applies to all eligible employees, with the exception of those whose critical roles are vital to the university's safety and security, as designated by the Chancellors. Additionally, union contracts may dictate the observance and compensation for holidays.

As the fall holiday season approaches, employees should note the dates for both the holidays and the winter closure. More information on the Winter Closure, including what constitutes Hard and Soft Closure, can be found on the benefits website.

Fall Break: Thursday, November 28 & Friday, November 29, 2024
Winter Holiday: Tuesday, December 24 & Wednesday, December 25, 2024
New Year: Tuesday, December 31 & Wednesday, January 1, 2025

For the complete holiday schedule, please refer to the benefits section on the UA website.
