University Holiday Calendar

Tufts University observes the following paid holidays throughout the year:

*When these days fall on a Sunday, the holiday will be observed on the following Monday; when they fall on a Saturday, the holiday will be observed on the previous Friday.

**When Christmas Eve and Christmas Day both fall on a weekday, employees will receive both days as holidays.

The university recognizes the right of employees to observe the holidays of their religion. At the employee’s discretion, time taken for this reason may be considered vacation time, personal days, or absence without pay. Employees should discuss religious holidays with their supervisors well ahead of time, so that the supervisor can prepare for the employee’s absence from the workplace.
