Other religious holidays

Some students will observe some of the religious holidays listed below. (I have recorded those listed by the City of New York leaving out the ones accounted for by the schedule above.) Please take these holidays into consideration in scheduling exams and assignments and permit those who observe the holiday an opportunity to make up any missed assignments or exams. Students are responsible for making up any missed work.
