Gallaudet University values diverse religious perspectives and beliefs. Our students celebrate and value a variety of religious traditions. We are committed to supporting our students observing their religious holidays, while also maintaining their commitment to their academic efforts.
The University recognizes the importance of religious holidays and encourages all faculty to make reasonable accommodations necessary for students’ observances. Students should provide faculty reasonable prior notice of religious holidays on which they will be absent. For more information about the University’s guidance to students regarding potential conflicts between academic and religious calendars, please visit the Registrar’s Office website.
It is important to note that the faculty have authority to set their own attendance policies and have discretion to designate a student absence as “excused” or “unexcused” based on academic judgments.
A representative list of holy days for the 2022-2023 academic year from several major traditions follows. These are only representative holidays and this list is not exhaustive. For a more complete listing, please visit the Interfaith Calendar.
