Reminder: 2025 winter recess

The university will be closed Dec. 24 and 25, as well as Jan. 1 and 2, 2026, which are university holidays, as well as Dec. 26, 29, 30 and 31, which is the 2025 winter recess. For more information on the winter recess, see the 2025 Winter Recess FAQs.

Pay practices for the 2025 winter recess are also available. Nonessential, benefits-eligible employees will receive pay for normally scheduled hours during the winter recess. Nonexempt staff should access SuccessFactors and use the Request Time Off Quick Action Tile to record days as time off. Select Other Leave with Pay from the Time Type drop-down menu. Follow the Other Leave (with Pay) Quick Reference Guide for further information.

Any staff who have previously scheduled leaves on the winter recess days will need to review the 2025 Winter Recess FAQs document. If none of the situations apply, then the request will need to be canceled by the employee.

Supervisors should also be aware of the need to approve time no later than 10 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2026.
