Holiday Closures
Stanford University has an extended winter closure period at the end of the year. We generally give instructions to vendors to hold all orders during that time, unless the department communicates that they will be open and able to accept deliveries during that time. In many cases, you will need to communicate with the department to find out when someone will be available to accept the order, and who you should contact to get into the building, which will most likely be locked.
In addition to the winter closure, Stanford University observes the following holidays:
| Month | Holiday | Celebrated on... |
|---|---|---|
| January | New Year's Day | Thursday & Friday, January 1 & 2 |
| Martin Luther King Holiday | Monday, January 19 | |
| February | President’s Day | Monday, February 16 |
| May | Memorial Day | Monday, May 25 |
| July | Independence Day | Friday, July 3 |
| September | Labor Day | Monday, September 7 |
| November | Thanksgiving Day | Thursday & Friday, November 26 & 27 |
| December | Christmas Holiday | Thursday & Friday, December 24 & 25 |
| Winter Closure: For most departments, winter break for 2009 will run from Monday December 21, 2009 through Friday, January 1, 2010. | ||
