Hey guys, is it common for colleges to give students a day off for President's Day? Or does it vary among different institutions?
Hello! It's common for Presidents' Day to be a normal day of classes for most colleges and universities. This is unlike the situation in many high schools and middle schools, where Presidents' Day might be a day off.
That being said, every school is different and some may observe the holiday, so the specifics can vary. You could check your university's academic calendar to find information about any scheduled breaks or holidays--this would give you the most accurate information. These calendars are typically available on your school's website and are updated each academic year.
Generally, colleges and universities are more likely to observe longer breaks such as Thanksgiving, winter, spring, and summer breaks, while single-day holidays often go unobserved. However, this does not apply to all colleges and universities, so it is always best to check your specific institution's calendar.
I hope this helps! Enjoy your academic journey.
