Graduate Assistant Holiday Calendar

Graduate Assistant Holiday Calendar for 2026-27′ Academic Year

*Please note that this calendar is subject to change

As both students and workers, Graduate Assistants follow two calendars. For work, students follow the staff calendar while for classes students follow the academic calendar, which can be found here.

Graduate Assistants (GAs) are expected to coordinate a 20-hour weekly work schedule in consultation with supervisors. GAs will follow staff holiday schedule, with additional extended breaks during Christmas and Easter periods.
