EOAA encourages staff and faculty to consult the following calendars before scheduling events or exams.

The University is required to accommodate student and employees’ sincerely held religious observances or practices, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the work or business of the University (see the policy on Employee Absences for Religious Holidays).
