Winter Recess Coverage

Northwestern University will observe a Winter Recess beginning December 24, 2020 through January 1, 2021. During this period, all academic and administrative offices will be closed. We will return to normal business hours on Monday, January 4, 2021.  For questions, contact Procurement and Payment Services at 847.491.8120 or procurement@northwestern.edu.

Processing Deadline

As we prepare to close our offices, please keep this time off in mind when making purchases for your department or school.
