Governor Patrick Morrisey has issued a proclamation declaring a full-day holiday on Thursday July 3, 2025, for public employees in addition to the July 4 holiday. Fairmont State University will re-open on Monday, July 7 and will be back to the summer compressed schedule of 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Friday.
We know that sometimes our student's need help that is not offered on campus. That is why we have created a comprehensive guide of various resources on and off campus to help our student's over all well-being.
This list covers many topics that students will encouter while at Fairmont State.
