Summer Hours

Thursday, May 10, 2007

Every summer Calvin adjusts “business hours” for administrative and academic offices during the period when our regular, academic-year students are not on campus. This summer from the Monday after Commencement, May 21, through the Friday before the beginning of Freshman Orientation, August 24, Calvin’s office hours will shift to 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a 1/2 hour lunch period.

Please remember that summertime attire is generally “business casual”. For those offices where the public is encountered on a regular basis or for individuals who have appointments with the public, regular business attire is preferred. The goal is for ALL employees to represent the college in the best possible light at all times.

All offices will be closed on Monday, May 28 to observe Memorial Day and on Wednesday, July 4 to observe Independence Day.

Please contact the Human Resources Office if you have any questions.

Report from Enrollment and External Programs and the Academic Division
