1Distance education students and graduate students in the School of Law at the San Antonio location have classes scheduled on March 14, 2025, which is scheduled as an A&M System holiday. Changing the academic calendar would result in pushing final exams back a day. Because most students in these programs are working professionals, this change in the academic calendar could have a negative impact on these students 2The School of Dentistry is requesting an alternate schedule to accommodate responsibilities for clinical operations.

1 Texas A&M at Qatar’s proposed schedule does NOT observe Thanksgiving Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Emancipation Day, Memorial Day, or Independence Day as required by System Policy 31.04, Holidays. However, the Board of Regents may choose to waive this requirement in light of the fact that Texas A&M at Qatar is required to observe eight days of state/cultural holidays (of 15 total days) and also attempts to adopt a schedule similar to that of other academic institutions in Education City.Texas A&M is required in its agreement with the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development to “abide by the applicable laws and regulations of the State of Qatar, and shall respect the cultural, religious and social customs of the State of Qatar.”2 Qatar National Day is a national commemoration of Qatar’s unification in 1878 and celebrated annually on December 18th.3 The State of Qatar issued an Emiri decree that the 2nd Tuesday of February each year would be a required holiday. This holiday, Qatar National Sports Day, is to promote sports and physical activity.4 The Eid holidays will automatically shift if the State of Qatar starts these holidays on a different day than proposed above. The number of days for the holidays will not change.
