Dear Provosts,

I hope this email finds you well. As we enter the final exam period, please be mindful that Ramadan is being observed through May 23 and that there may be other religious observances during the close of the academic year.

Please do remind your campus communities about CUNY’s policy about religious accommodation, which allows for students to request and be granted an accommodation on the basis of religious belief.  A link to the policy is posted below:

For any questions about CUNY’s policy on religious accommodations, please contact Chris Rosa, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Inclusion Initiatives at christopher.rosa@cuny.edu.

All the best,

JL
