Academic employees (faculty; P&A; and professionals in training except 9541, 9548, 9549, 9554, 9555, 9556, and 9559) who follow the Rochester and Twin Cities academic calendar and who are eligible to receive holiday pay are also eligible for a personal holiday.

Guidelines for Using Your Personal Holiday

1. Your personal holiday must be taken during the fiscal year (July 1–June 30) or it will be lost. It cannot be carried over to the next fiscal year.
2. Talk with your supervisor before you use your holiday and follow the same procedure as requesting vacation.
3. Your personal holiday must be taken in whole day increments.
4. If you leave the University (voluntarily or involuntarily) before you use your personal holiday, you will not be paid for this time.

Rules and contract language governing leave for personal holidays vary by employee group. Be sure to consult the appropriate governing document.

Academic, civil service, and non-faculty labor-represented employees in Crookston, Duluth, and Morris usually have a scheduled floating holiday instead of a personal holiday. The entire campus is closed on the scheduled date. Check your campus holiday schedule found earlier on this page to confirm the scheduled floating holiday observed on your campus.

For contract language regarding leaves of absence for Crookston and Duluth faculty, refer to the Unit 9 University Education Association Contract.
