RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS
Because of the extraordinary variety of religious affiliations of the University student body and staff, the
Academic Calendar makes no provisions for religious holidays. However, it is University policy to respect
the faith and religious obligations of the individual. Students with classes or examinations that conflict with
their religious observances are expected to notify their instructors well in advance so that mutually
agreeable alternatives may be worked out.
