Please let this serve as notice that the current and future Holiday Calendars for Georgia College & State University have been updated to reflect recent decisions made by the Board of Regents to add an additional paid holiday. 

During this year's session, the General Assembly passed House Bill 1335, such that upon the Governor's signature, state law would now require 13 paid holidays per year to include Juneteenth.  State agencies that already provide for 12 official paid holidays will be required to update their compliance to 13 official paid holidays.

The June 19th holiday (Juneteenth) will be observed by GCSU on Monday, June 20, 2022. The current 2022 calendar is attached below and can also be found at the following link:  https://www.gcsu.edu/humanresources/holiday
