Holiday Schedule

The State of North Carolina authorizes 12 holidays each year, three of which must fall at Christmas/Winter Break. The campuses of the UNC system observe the same number of holidays as those provided to other state agencies; however, each campus sets its specific holiday schedule based on institutional needs. 

Personal Observance Leave is also available for eligible employees. In accordance with Executive Order 262: Employee Leave to Recognize a Day of Cultural, Religious, or Personal Significance, the University offers eight hours of Personal Observance Leave for eligible employees. This paid time off is designed for permanent leave-earning employees to use on a day of significance, including days of cultural, religious or personal observation.
