Holiday Calendar

Plan for the upcoming years using our multi year institutional Holiday and Interfaith calendars.

Champlain College has a generous benefit of 16 paid holidays per fiscal year. Our calendar outlines the staff holidays for last year, the current year and next year.

Additionally, a Multiyear Interfaith Calendar is provided. Through our Interfaith Calendar, we hope to bring awareness to and acknowledge the number of spiritual and religious traditions practiced during the year. View the Interfaith calendar.

Floating holidays may be used in a similar fashion as personal or vacation days.

As always, departmental and student needs should be met and adjustments made where employees are required to work to fulfill these responsibilities.
