Research Computing Holiday Break
Research Computing personnel will observe the university winter break from 12:00am EST on 12/23/25 and will resume normal business hours on January 5th, 2026 During this time, Research Computing services will continue to be available, but all staff will be on leave.
Research Computing staff members will monitor the status of all computing and data resources in an effort to ensure continuous availability.
Research Computing staff members will monitor the ticketing system throughout the holiday period and answer critical issues and problems. Non-critical user issues and questions will be addressed beginning January 5th, 2026. There will also be no coffee hour consultations during this break.
Scratch file purging (on community clusters with scratch space) will continue as normal during the break, so be sure to archive your files in scratch storage. This does not apply to Data Depot or home directories -- only scratch storage.
Have a wonderful break, everyone, and we look forward to great things in the new year!
