The University System of Georgia as allows 12 holidays per year that are recognized and taken off with pay. Some of these days are standardized and some are at the discretion of the institution. The holidays approved by the institution for calendar year 2005 are as follows:

Independence Day July 4th
Labor Day September 5th
Thanksgiving Holiday November 23rd
Thanksgiving Holiday November 24th
Thanksgiving Holiday November 25th

Christmas/New Year's Holiday December 30th

In addition, the University will be closed on Memorial Day (May 30th). Since this is an additional holiday over and above the 12 allotted by the State, staff and administrators have the following options:

    1. Use eight hours of annual leave for each day.

    2. Work an additional eight hours during the remainder of the Memorial Day Week, Tuesday, May 31st through Friday, June 3rd.

    3. Take these days off without pay.

  • Since there will be no classes on these days, faculty will not be required to take leave or make up hours.
  • Your supervisor must approve option two for Memorial Day.
  • The University administration recognizes the importance of the Memorial Day holiday; we encourage you the use this time to recognize the supreme sacrifice that has been made by members of the armed forces on our behalf.

    Please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources if you have questions.
