Holidays

The College will recognize the following six Holidays each year:

Holiday                                                          Date/Day

1.      Martin Luther King, Jr. Day                       is the third Monday in January

2.      Memorial Day                                              last Monday in May

3.      Juneteenth Independence Day                June 19

4.      Independence Day/Fourth of July           July 4

5.      Labor Day                                                     first Monday in September

6.      Thanksgiving Day                                        fourth Thursday in November

The College recognizes a Holiday by closing to the public. Employees will be paid for that day if the Holiday falls on a day that the College would otherwise be open to the public (i.e., Monday-Thursday during Summer Hours, Monday-Friday for the rest of the year.)

College Closures

The College will close to the public (“College Closure”) on the following days each year:
College Closure                Date/Day
1.    Spring Break                    second full week in March
2.    Day before Thanksgiving Day        fourth Wednesday in November
3.    Day after Thanksgiving Day        fourth Friday in November
4.    Winter Break                December 23 through January 2

Additional College Closure days may be added at the President's discretion.

Employees will be paid for any day of a College Closure if it is a day that the College would otherwise be open to the public (i.e., Monday-Friday.)

Note that, on occasion, certain employees may be required to work on a College Closure day or on a Holiday that falls on a day that the College would otherwise be open; in these instances, the employee will be provided another day to observe the Holiday/College Closure (if an exempt employee) or paid according to the Employee Handbook (if a non-exempt employee.)  

LMC Days

The College will close to the public for a professional development day on the third Tuesday in October and February. This is a workday for full-time employees and for part-time regularly scheduled employees that would normally work on those days, and in-person attendance is expected for those days’ activities, regardless of an employee’s flexible or remote work schedule.

If a full-time employee cannot attend, they must obtain the approval of their supervisor.

If a part-time regularly scheduled employee that is not normally scheduled to work on those days wishes to attend, they will be paid for their time attending LMC Day.

On-campus Partners

It is the expectation of the College that all third-party on-campus partners abide by the Holiday and College Closure schedule unless specific accommodations are made with the appropriate Cabinet member and Facilities Management. On-campus partners may operate normally on LMC Days with the understanding that the College is closed to the public.
