Religious Observances and Holidays

We recognize that the various religious traditions observed by our diverse student body include more holidays than can easily be included on a list. Not all holidays require students to miss class or reschedule assignments.

Moreover, we recognize that observances vary by tradition and country and, in some faiths, in accordance with the lunar calendar.

However, as a guide to faculty and students in the planning of their courses and assignments, members of the campus ministry have identified the dates of major religious holidays that occur when classes are being held during the academic year.

This list is neither all-inclusive nor a formal designation of religious holidays recognized by the University; it is merely an aid for planning purposes.
