Due to COVID-19 restrictions, an update has been made to the 2020-2021 university holiday schedule to make Monday, February 15, 2021 (Lundi Gras) a regular work day.  This will be replaced by an additional floating holiday.  Employees may choose to request this day off with the approval of their supervisor, or work, and take the floating holiday at a later date. This applies to 2021 only due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a reminder, floating holidays must be taken in this fiscal year and do not carry over to the next fiscal year. See below for revised schedule and guidance to request a floating holiday.
