In 2011, the campus transitioned to Google Calendar as the campus-wide calendaring solution. Incorporated in the use of Google Calendar is the need identify when the campus observes holidays within each year. As a result, you will now see a new calendar named UMBC Holidays which represents the official University holiday observances. The new calendar will appear in the "Other calendars" section of your calendar. Official holidays will appear at the top of your calendar as a note. Beginning March 30, 2012 the new UMBC Holidays calendar will be added to your UMBC Google calendar. HR will continue to post the hard copy schedule as we have in previous years. The holiday calendar within Google is an additional feature for your convenience. Each year, the calendar will be updated with the University's observance dates for your convenience.
