Dates for Religious Observances

While Bryn Mawr does not cancel classes for any religious holidays, it does respect the right of its students to observe holidays that are important to them. Absences around a religious holiday should be excused. Anything you can do to help students make up work they miss because of such absences would be appreciated. It makes life simpler for both faculty and students if tests and assignments are not scheduled on or very near holidays that you know  students will want to observe. You can review a list of some, but not all, holidays that students might be observing.
