Holidays

Faculty must be appointed for at least 50% time for at least 4 ½ continuous months to be eligible. Students employed in positions that require student status as a condition of employment are not eligible for holidays.

The Texas Legislature sets the number of paid holidays each year and allows universities the flexibility to set a holiday schedule compatible with the academic calendar. In years when the Legislature meets, the subsequent year's holiday schedule is usually available by early July. In non-legislative years, the subsequent year's holiday schedule is usually available by early May.

Holidays do not count against your vacation or sick time accruals.
