I don’t know if it’s a bug but my game the random holidays like the lottery and pirates day appear in the calendar and when the day comes they disappear anybody else has this.

I've got to agree - this is incredibly annoying. They could just fix it by having the same 'Your Sim's class starts in an hour' prompt appear, so at least there would be some reminder.
Twice now I've had a Sim's final fall on Winterfest (in two different saves). The first time I didn't realise I had to click go to class. That Sim ended up with a C, and they were already a 'stellar student' in that class. The second time I just plain forgot to click go to class and ended up with a D.
It is getting frustrating as I really want to have a student graduate with honours but this lack of EP integration is the reason it's not going to happen any time soon! I don't want to have the Class Schedule open all the time, taking up half the screen; I want to do other things and enjoy the university experience! I really hope EA fixes this.

Yeah, I don't care whether or not my Sim is expected to go to class on a holiday, but it would be nice if the prompts weren't removed. I added a lot of holidays just for funsies and I cannot get my Sim to class on time without them automatically going early, not to mention missing class entirely if I forget to manually send them.
I am just,....kinda baffled that didn't look into this....it just kinda shows they rushed it and didn't look for something like this....
Or, there is now an enormous amount of code for this game now and this got overlooked and should be brought to the devs attention and it can be fixed. 🤷🏼♀️
One would think they’d have some kind of plan when they start creating a pack. Implementing holidays in a school pack doesn’t seem far-fetched to me. If the enormous amount of code in the game is becoming an overwhelming problem, that would mean it is time for a successor.
Its a bit weird because i'm having Thanksgiving in my game right now, my sim has classes but one passed and he didn't get the signal to go, nor did it count him "late".
Maybe they could add an option in the Holiday panel for if you want the holiday to be a Uni Day Off. There’s some holidays where I don’t really need Uni students to have off, but is fun if I’m playing other households with kids and such.
I'm SUPER late to the game, because I just got the DU pack a little while ago, but I'm finding this to be a problem, too! My sim has been working her butt off to do well in her classes, and now it's Harvestfest, which would be fine, except she hasn't made any friends with her dormmates, and is really close with her family. I want her to go home for the day to have dinner with them, but there's no way she can do that without hurting her grades.
Well, EA is infamous for their crunch, so probably not
This really needs to be fixed.
DU is not only incompatible with holidays, it's incompatible with rotational play. Jump into another household? Your previous Sim won't go to class and will end up on probation.
This "terms are one week, no exceptions" rule really needs to be changed.

I do agree that classes are hard to implement with holidays, but I'm finding that my uni soccer player also doesn't get holidays off of practice, that seems like an easy implementation
