University Holidays
The University of Minnesota maintains a Holidays and Religious Observances calendar that runs two years in advance. You can find it at this link. The College of Pharmacy also lists information on holidays and university closures in our Academic Calendar, which can be found at this link, under Calendars.
Of note, APPE students will not be required to attend their rotation on certain University Holidays, based on the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities University Holiday Calendar. For full details and exact dates, students are provided an Experiential Education Manual found in CORE ELMS with the calendar for their APPE year.
