Winter Break 2026 Administrative Leave

Winter break for 2026–27 will run from Thursday, Dec. 24, 2026, through Friday, Jan. 1, 2027.

Campus status
All academic and administrative offices will be closed, and most faculty and staff will be away from their regular duties. Units providing essential services will remain operational, with staffing determined by unit leadership. Campus will resume regular operations on Monday, Jan. 4, 2027.

Recording leave

• Holiday leave: Friday, Dec. 25; Monday, Dec. 28; and Friday, Jan. 1 will be paid holiday leave.
• Administrative leave: Thursday, Dec. 24; Tuesday, Dec. 29; Wednesday, Dec. 30; and Thursday, Dec. 31 will be paid administrative leave days. No personal leave is required to take these days off.
• Employees who submit timesheets should record these days as “Administrative Leave.”

To maintain equity across campus, individual units should not grant additional administrative leave beyond the campuswide days.

Eligibility
All employees eligible for holiday and vacation leave—including faculty, research faculty, and staff—are eligible for administrative leave. Temporary employees (e.g., student hourly employees, faculty working retirees, and other temporary staff) are not eligible.

Alternate leave
Employees who are required to work during holidays or administrative leave days should work with their supervisors to arrange alternate leave days by June 30, 2027, based on unit needs.

Governor’s holiday
If an additional governor’s holiday is announced, it will be applied to the December administrative leave period.
