College of Central Florida campuses will be closed for Washington’s birthday on Monday, Feb. 16, as part of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ statewide commemoration of America’s 250th birthday.

On-campus and online courses and activities on Feb. 16 will be cancelled, and the CF Post Office on the Ocala Campus also will be closed. Some off-site clinical activities may continue with regular schedule.
