Collective days off
In 2013, the day before Queen's Day (Monday, 29 April) and the day after Ascension Day (Friday, 10 May) are collective days off and the University will be closed.
King's Day (formerly known as Queen's Day) on 27 April will be celebrated in 2014 on Saturday, 26 April. As this holiday falls in the weekend, it has not been reserved as a collective day off for that year.
