CSUSM Days of Reduced Campus Operation Plan Calendar
The $564 million cut in funding to the CSU has necessitated that CSUSM adopt a plan for days of reduced campus operation and employee furloughs. The Campus may be open for instruction on days of reduced campus operation, with the exception of November 25, 2009 (Day before Thanksgiving), December 31, 2009 (Winter Break) and the week of Spring Break in 2010. Faculty furlough days are taken on an individual faculty basis. Students should consult the course syllabus for each class for furlough dates for class sessions. On days of reduced Campus operation, University Police, student housing, and limited food service options will be open. The Field House (recreation center) is reviewing their schedules and staffing to determine if they may be open. All other administrative offices and the Kellogg Library will be closed. During the week of the Spring Break (March 29 – April 2), the campus will be closed with the exception of University Police. Many services are available online to students, faculty and staff, and those are accessible 24/7. View the complete list of the days of reduced Campus operation...
