As previously communicated to UIC faculty, staff and students, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving will be a non-instructional day for UIC students, per a resolution of the UIC Senate. This day was implemented for fall 2024 as a Student Wellness Day. This resolution was the result of a request by student government.
The Fall 2025 Student Wellness Day will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 26.
The Student Wellness Day is noted in the undergraduate and graduate academic calendars in the catalogs and in the administrative calendar, beginning with the 2024-2025 academic year. See the undergraduate calendar for academic year 2025-26 for an example. Approved exceptions are noted in the catalog, academic calendar and specific syllabi.
Note that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving remains a workday for all staff, faculty and student employees.
