This autumn is a time of important religious observance for many of our students who celebrate the Jewish High Holy Days and Sukkot holiday in September and October, and the Muslim holiday of Eid al Adha in September. As a nonsectarian, inclusive institution, NYU adheres to the general policy of including in the official calendar of the University only certain legal holidays. As such, NYU policy permits members of any religious group to absent themselves from classes without penalty when required for compliance with their religious obligations. The policy and principles to be followed by students and faculty may be found here: The University Calendar Policy on Religious Holidays.
