*Please Note*: All students are able to miss class for religious observances and are able to make up examinations, study or work missed in accordance with the religious observances policy. Students must notify their instructors of their observances through MySlice starting in late Aug. and by the deadline of Sept. 18 this semester. We also recommend emailing your professors directly well in advance of the holidays, even if it's just a chance you'll observe the chagim, in order to avoid any negative consequences for missing class or making up work due to High Holy Day observances.
