The Reduced Operations Period is an annual university-approved 10-12 day period in late December to early January where offices are allowed to close to the public and operate with reduced staffing levels as feasible. This year’s Reduced Operations Period will be Thursday, Dec. 24, 2020 through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021.
Winter Operations will generally retain the same staffing level, but move as many operations to virtual as reasonably possible in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
During both the Reduced Operations Period and Winter Operations, departments are expected to manage and communicate the department's message retrieval and response protocol when the office will not be open for unscheduled walk-in traffic.
