Academic Year 2009-2010 Holiday Schedule

The holiday schedule for Texas A&M University at Qatar is coordinated with the academic calendar and always includes a mix of traditional US and Qatari religious and national holidays.

The scheduled holidays for the 2009-2010 academic year are listed below.  On these days Texas A&M University at Qatar offices are closed and faculty and staff are not required to be at work, unless individually directed by your Director or Dean.  If you are required to work on a scheduled holiday, compensatory time will be granted:

*The Islamic holidays of Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha are very important to our Muslim students, faculty and staff, and often involve a full week of time off for each event.  The TAMUQ academic calendar does not provide for that amount of time off, but individuals are encouraged to use accrued paid leave during these periods.  Supervisors are encouraged to provide liberal approvals for requests during these periods.
