Ohio State offices observe various closures aligned with federal and state holidays, and certain specific events may also lead to temporary shutdowns. Typical holiday closures include major federal observances such as New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day, while state-specific holidays may affect hours as well. University offices also often have closures during winter breaks, spring breaks, and certain summer periods, depending on operational needs and academic schedules. For the most accurate and up-to-date closure information, it's recommended to visit Ohio State's official website or consult specific department announcements. Additionally, unplanned closures may occur due to inclement weather, emergency situations, or health advisories, so the website and university social media channels are helpful resources. Ohio State also provides essential services, such as student support and campus safety, even during some holiday periods, ensuring that critical functions continue for students and staff.
