Dear students,

The University of Oregon is committed to creating an engaging academic and work environment for students and employees of all faiths and religions. And we recognize that observing certain religious holidays may require students to miss school or work, or to seek flexibility with assignments, exams, or schedules.

To request a religious accommodation, please review the Religious Accommodations webpage and submit a Student Religious Accommodations Request form. A staff member from the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access will assist you. Students are required to submit requests no less than 14 days ahead of an anticipated absence to ensure sufficient processing time. However, for holidays that fall less than 14 days from today, kindly submit requests as soon as possible to ensure a timely response.

For the 2026–2027 academic year, major observances that may impact class attendance include:

Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of religious accommodations and that students are welcome to request religious accommodation for any religious holiday.

The Office of Equal Opportunity and Access is responsible for implementing religious accommodations, pregnancy modifications, and supportive measures for students who experience discrimination and harassment, including sex- and gender-based harassment and violence. For questions or to request accommodations and other support, please contact eoa@uoregon.edu. Students should contact the Care and Advocacy Program in the Dean of Students Office at 541-346-3216 or 541-346-SAFE for confidential support.

Wishing you success for the academic year,

Nicole Commissiong
