1The Law School has reallocated the two holidays over spring break to winter break and Independence Day. Due to the different academic calendar for the Law School, spring break for the distance education graduate program does not fall on the same week as the spring break for main campus. Staff and faculty will need to work the full week of March 15 to facilitate the classes for our distance education graduate students.

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 14 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 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.
3 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.
