Flex Week

Palomar College offers a Flex Week prior to the Fall and Spring Semesters, with a designated All College Day comprised of College Updates, student focused work, and department/division/constituency group meetings.  Both Fall and Spring offer a plethora of trainings, capped off with a day filled with information and updates about Palomar and the new semester.

These weeks within our academic calendar are dedicated to employee learning and are just one example of the many professional development training opportunities that occur throughout the year.

Spring 2026 Flex Week (January 16-23) will be upon us sooner than we think. We will have a variety of trainings that are designed and offered in HyFlex, Zoom, or our Come Together (In-Person Only) modalities. These offered greater equity and accessibility across our campuses to benefit all of our employees. We are accepting requests for Workshops/Trainings and Division/Department Meetings for this fantastic week. You can submit your requests:
