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.

Fall 2025 Flex Week (August 18-22) will soon be upon us. We will have a variety of trainings that are being designed that will be offered throughout these days in HyFlex, Zoom, or our Come Together (In-Person Only) modalities. These offer greater equity and accessibility across our campuses for the benefit of our employees.
