class="par-bigger">Please use the guidelines below to avoid scheduling important academic deadlines, events, or activities on religious holidays that many individuals on our campus observe. For your convenience, we have also indicated UCSF campus holidays.</p> <hr /> <p>While it will be hard to avoid all conflicting dates, the Graduate Division asks all program directors, faculty, and staff to be sensitive to this issue and not schedule critical deadlines or events that students, faculty, or staff <em>must </em>attend on the dates listed below.</p> <p>Note that UCSF <em>must</em> comply with California State Education Code section 92640, which says that an instructor must make a reasonable attempt to accommodate student needs in the case of serious incompatibility between a student's religious creed and a scheduled test or examination. Therefore:</p> <ul> <li>Accommodation for alternative examination dates may be worked out directly and on an individual basis between the student and the faculty member involved.</li> <li>Students should make such requests of the instructor during the first two weeks of an academic term, or as soon as possible after a particular examination date is announced by the instructor.</li> <li>Students or faculty with questions may contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5334213237263227367d3736323d13263020357d363726">Nicquet Blake</a>, dean of the Graduate Division.</li> </ul> <p>If you have already scheduled an important event on one of the dates on this list, be sure to allow reasonable accommodations for students who observe the conflicting holiday.</p> <p>Also, please bear in mind that it is not always comfortable for students to ask for accommodations, so you’ll want to give them opportunities to easily make such requests.</p> <p>Thank you for your attention to this matter and for creating a supportive, inclusive environment for our students.</p> <hr /> <h2>Religious and Campus Holidays in 2024 and 2025</h2> <h3>2024: Religious & Campus Holidays</h3>
