  • Last day for regular Facilities & Services operations: Tuesday, December 23.
  • Campus mail: Drop off mail by 9 a.m. on December 23 for delivery before the break. Items received later will be processed in January.
  • Caretaking, waste management and recycling services: Submit requests by December 12 for any service during the break.
