Barnard's Policy regarding religious holidays Just a reminder as we enter the fall about our policy regarding religious holidays. It is Barnard College's policy to respect its members' religious beliefs. In compliance with New York State law, each student who is absent from school because of religious beliefs will be given an equivalent opportunity to register for classes or make up examination, study, or work requirements that they may have missed because of such absence on a particular day or days. No student will be penalized for absence due to religious beliefs, and alternative means will be sought for satisfying the academic requirements involved. Those responsible for the scheduling of academic activities or essential services are expected to avoid conflict with religious holidays as much as possible. If a suitable arrangement cannot be worked out between the student and the instructor involved, the instructor should consult the Associate Provost. If an additional appeal is needed, it may be taken to the Provost. A list of the 2017-18 religious holidays can be found here. Don't forget that previous INSIGHTS are available at:
