Addendum to the Wesleyan University Calendar
The following information on the observance of religious
holidays is provided to alert members of the Wesleyan community to
possible scheduling conflicts. Faculty are asked to
accommodate students whose religious holiday observance conflicts
with paper deadlines or scheduled examinations. Not all
holidays require absence from routine commitments. Questions about
the holidays may be directed to the University Chaplains.
Students who have questions about class attendance and assignments should consult with their Class Dean.
