Hard closure is the three (3) days between the Christmas and New Year's holidays.
Employees must use annual leave, faculty time off, personal holiday, and/or leave without pay during those three days. Leave without pay must be approved by the employee's supervisor.
Some departments are required to be at least partially open during these days. Please check with your supervisor for your department's schedule for the hard closure.
Soft closure is observed in the days before and after the holidays.
Some departments may close or operate at reduced hours during this time. Please check with your supervisor for your department's schedule for the soft closure.
