Holiday Curtailment 2025

The IACUP office will be closed to external business from December 22, 2025 through January 2, 2026.  We will reopen on January 5, 2026. Although staff are taking a break and review committees will not meet during this period, the campus community can continue to access web-based systems such as  RIO and LMS. Happy Holidays.
