Calendar of Holidays and Religious Observances

 

This calendar lists University of Wyoming holidays, closures, traditional observances, and days of religious significance for diverse religions. Although many of these days are not University holidays or closures, faculty and staff are asked to use this information and their discretion when responding to student requests for time off for religious purposes and planning campus events. Please take special note of those holidays that have been designated non-work days by the religions that celebrate them.

NOTE:

• Classes are not in session for holidays indicated in bold and italic
• All Jewish and Islamic holidays begin at sundown on the evening before the first date shown.
• * These holidays have been designated non-work days by the religions that celebrate them.
• ^ Some of these dates are not fixed to a calendar but based on the actual sighting of the moon and therefore there may be some variance by a day.
