The University of Nebraska System has updated its 2022–2025 holiday schedule to include Juneteenth as a floating holiday. Juneteenth celebrates the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

Floating holidays are federal holidays during which the UNO campus remains open. Eligible employees can elect to take the day off with pay, or choose to work the floating holidays - saving the paid time for the annual closedown period.

The 2022 Holiday/Closedown Schedule

  • January 17 - Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
  • May 30- Memorial Day
  • July 4 - Independence Day
  • September 5 - Labor Day
  • November 24 - Thanksgiving
  • November 25 - Friday after Thanksgiving
  • December 23 - Holiday Closedown in Lieu of President's Day (Feb. 21)
  • December 26 - Holiday Closedown
  • December 27 - Holiday Closedown in lieu of Arbor Day (April 29)
  • December 28 - Holiday Closedown in lieu of Juneteenth (June 20)
  • December 29 - Holiday Closedown in lieu of Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day (Oct. 10)
  • December 30 - Holiday Closedown in lieu of Veteran's Day (Nov. 11)

The Holiday Closedown for 2022 will begin Friday, December 23, 2022 and conclude Monday, January 2, 2023. Staff will return to work Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
