Academic Regulations & Procedures
Observance of Religious Holidays
Periodically major religious holidays intersect with key dates in Carleton’s calendar (e.g., overlap of the first day of classes with Rosh Hashanah; confluence of Ramadan with finals), and there will be members of our community who will choose to observe these holidays. It is expected that students who will be engaging in these observances will inform the relevant faculty and staff in advance, in order to address any need to make up work or arrange other accommodations. Faculty and staff engaging in these observances should inform their department/supervisor in advance and follow the applicable time off request process. Staff should record work time missed as floating holiday or vacation time.
Questions about these practices may be directed to:
Office of the Provost (faculty), x4300
Dean of Students Office (students), x4075
Human Resources (staff), x4830
