Introduction and Purpose: The purpose of this non-policy guidance is to clarify the use of holidays for nursing classes and clinical schedules.   

Policy: Per clarification from the Provost’s Office (December 2020), holiday hours are not part of the days counted towards contact hours in MSU’s NWCCU accreditation. Faculty should adhere to the university holiday schedule and not require students to make up holidays when planning class and clinical schedules for the semester. 

Procedures: Posted university holidays will be honored and listed as no classes; office closed for all nursing courses.
