Religious Observance Dates
Please refer to the Religious Observance Policy and Procedures.
Below is a list of religious observance dates for the 2022-2023 academic year. While not exhaustive, this list will provide notice to the faculty of the religious observance dates of many faiths practiced by our students.
To the extent possible, faculty should avoid scheduling examinations or assigning
papers, presentations, or other academic requirements on any of the identified religious
observance dates. When this is unavoidable, professors must give students, who have
notified their professors in advance, the opportunity for equivalent make-up work.
