Summer Hours Will Begin on Tuesday, May 31, 2011
Business hours for the campus will be 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, with a 30-minute lunch break. The change in hours may impact departments in different ways. Please discuss with your supervisor the best way for your department to accommodate the summer schedule with department needs for coverage. Departments that work a modified schedule to meet campus needs may continue to do so with their cabinet officer’s approval.
We will return to our regular schedule on Monday, Sept. 5: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break.
