All members of the MSU community, including educators and students, are eligible to observe their religious beliefs. Designing your course schedule to avoid conflicts with major days of religious observance will reduce the need to resolve individual conflicts and will better reflect and serve MSU’s diverse and multicultural community.
The Office of the Provost website maintains a religious observance calendar and resource page for educators and students that includes frequently asked questions. Educators are encouraged to consult this calendar before scheduling exams, tests, and major assignments.
The full policy on religious observance, including instructors’ responsibilities to accommodate students’ religious observance as well as students’ responsibility to inform instructors about potential conflicts, can be found on the Office of the Registrar's website.
