Religious Holy Days of Observance

Below is a list of holy days and religious observances observed by many members of the Wake Forest community. This list, though exhaustive in its inclusion of traditions represented on our campus, is not complete. Please direct suggestions for accommodations or additions to the list to the Chaplain’s Office.

• Faculty should consider how holy days might impact student class attendance or their ability to complete assignments on respective due dates. 
• Administrative and Academic Units, as well as Student Organizations, should consider holy days when scheduling department-wide or university-wide events and programming. 
• Students interested in holy day accommodations for class and lab assignments, attendance, or athletic practices/competitions should contact faculty or coaches well in advance with such requests. Students can utilize the Religious Holy Day Accommodation Email Template to reach out to faculty, staff, or coaches, etc.
