Holidays for 2023

The four CU campuses and the university’s system office are working to determine how to implement the additional Juneteenth state holiday in their academic calendars. In order to be eligible for the 2023 Juneteenth holiday, employees must be active in the payroll system prior to 6/30/2023, and the holiday must be used by 6/30/2023. Boulder campus employees should request this holiday similarly to vacation leave, through requests to their direct supervisor, and should code the time in MyLeave using the "Personal Observance Day" earnings code.
