Major Religious Holiday Policy
It is the policy of the University to respect the observance of major religious holidays. Where scheduling conflicts prove unavoidable, no student will be penalized because of religious reasons, and alternative means will be sought for satisfying the academic requirements involved. Here is the list of holidays for various religions during the 2021-2022 academic year. (PDF)
