May 25, 2021

As noted in a message from President Kavalhuna on May 13, the summer work schedule (e.g. 4/10-hour or 5/8-hour days) will be determined within each department. The College will remain open 5 days per week, and public-facing offices should determine how they will provide services to the public during the full work week. For many, this will mean sticking to a 5-day, 8-hour/day schedule.

Please review the information below for dates, hours, and holiday time reporting for the Memorial Day and Independence Day holidays.

Summer hours start date and end date

As noted above, the College will remain open 5 days per week throughout the summer. Coverage should be provided to serve the public throughout the work week.

Departments that allow some or all staff to observe a 4-day week starting in May are asked to conclude this practice and return all staff to a 5-day week by August 16.

Important fall 2021 dates:

  • The State of the College meeting and faculty report date will be Tuesday, August 24.
  • Fall classes begin Thursday, August 26.
  • The Labor Day holiday is Monday, Sept. 6.
