Student Wellness Day, no classes

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 will be implemented for Fall 2024 as a Student Wellness Day on Wednesday, Nov. 27. This resolution was the result of a request by student government.

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 2024-25 for an example. Approved exceptions are noted in the catalog and academic calendar, and instructors were asked to note them in their course syllabus.

Note that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving remains a workday for all staff, faculty and student employees.
