  • Each range includes the weekends on both sides of the break.
  • Winter break runs from the end of fall finals to the day before spring classes. A required January term (J-term, Winter Study, Interim) counts as school; an optional winter session doesn't.
  • Thanksgiving starts on Wednesday only if the school cancels classes that day.
  • Single holidays like Labor Day aren't listed unless the school calls them a break. Short breaks of 1 to 4 days are usually long weekends.
  • We use class and exam dates, not residence-hall move-out or office-closure dates.
