Holiday Schedule

A holiday which occurs on a Saturday will be observed on the preceding Friday; a holiday which occurs on a Sunday will be observed on the following Monday. View Ohio University's observed holidays for 2025-2027. 

* These two "floating holidays" are scheduled on other days than the traditional dates shown. Indigenous Peoples'/Columbus Day is typically scheduled for the Friday after Thanksgiving, and President's Day is typically scheduled for December 26.

** Winter break closure includes three holidays and four days in which employees would be otherwise scheduled to work. The first business day will be paid as winter break closure ("WBC").The second and third business days are holidays (christmas and president's day observed); the fourth, fifth, and sixth business days will be paid as WBC by the university. The seventh business day is a holiday (new year's day). "WBC" neither accumulates, nor carries-over, nor is it eligible for any cash pay-out at time of separation, for any reason, from Ohio university. Employees may not report "WBC" on days that they would not be regularly scheduled. Use of "WBC" may not cause an employee to exceed forty hours of work in one week. When December twenty-fourth falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the winter break closure day will be observed on the immediately preceding business day.
