Holiday Schedule

2023 - 2024 Holiday Staffing / Office Hours

College offices are expected to be appropriately covered from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, unless otherwise noted.

Individuals should contact their supervisor with questions regarding staffing needs for their area.

When holidays fall during periods when classes are in full session, there is an expectation that services that support or impact students directly will be at least minimally staffed. These areas include but are not limited to the Library, Student Health Center, Residential Life, Student Activities, academic support services and school offices, cleaning staff, and student support areas on the Norwich campus.

There are essential services that impact the safety of the campus that need to be at least minimally staffed at all times, even when classes are not in session.  These areas include University Police, Heating Plant, and Agricultural Facilities. In addition, even when classes are not in session other staffing may be required to accommodate activities unique to specific areas.
