Religious Holidays

Although PAU does not observe religious holidays as official institutional holidays, PAU recognizes that students and faculty may choose to make adjustments in the academic calendar for religious obligations. Schedule changes for this reason are made without penalty, and early planning for them by students and faculty is encouraged. Faculty may choose to dismiss classes that fall on religious holidays. Makeup sessions for canceled classes, while encouraged, are optional.

Students may request to be excused from classes that fall on religious holidays. Rescheduling class time missed, while optional, is encouraged, and arrangements should be made by the student in consultation with the instructor.
