2024-2025 Religious Observance Calendar

College of DuPage is deeply committed to supporting its religiously diverse community. This interfaith calendar provides information on various world religious holidays that fall within College of DuPage’s academic calendar and may, therefore, be applicable for College of DuPage students. Please note that some of the observation dates may be more fluid due to fluctuations of the various calendars (Lunar, Julian, Gregorian, etc.). This calendar is a tool, not to be considered inclusive of every religion or religious observance. It is a resource for religious days more commonly observed in our region. Should there be any questions, faculty can consult their Dean for further guidance.

The following points provide ideas for faculty to best accommodate the needs of those celebrating religious holidays. During the holidays listed below, faculty might:

• Refrain from scheduling important/mandatory events, activities or deadlines
• Honor student requests to observe religious holidays and be flexible with attendance and assessments
• Be aware that students may be fasting or otherwise have dietary restrictions
• Respect that Jewish and Muslim holidays begin at sundown the night before the holiday. As a result, students may need additional flexibility
