May 5, 2021

Please be advised that from the evening of Wednesday, May 12 through the evening of Thursday, May 13, 2021, some members of the CUNY community will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a religious holiday that marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.

Other religious observances through the end of the Spring 2021 semester:

Thursday, May 13: Solemnity of the Ascension
Sundown Sunday, May 16 – sundown Tuesday, May 18: Shavuot

Please note that CUNY’s policy on religious accommodation allows for students to request and be granted an accommodation on the basis of religious belief.  A link to the policy is posted below:
