Spring 2022: accommodations for religious observances

Dear Carolina Students,

This spring semester, our academic calendar overlaps with a number of religious holidays, including Ramadan, Passover, Good Friday and Easter, and Ridván.

We understand that you may need to balance your religious observation with your class attendance and academic studies. We encourage you to learn more about Carolina’s religious accommodations request process and, if needed, to complete the Religious Accommodation Request Form and send it to the Religious Accommodations Advisory Committee (RAAC) at [email protected] for consideration.

The Provost’s office has reminded faculty about these holidays, requesting flexibility regarding attendance and deadlines that coincide with religious observances.

We share this information in the hopes that it helps support both your academic pursuits and the observance of your faith.

If you have questions about the policy or the process for requesting accommodations, you may reach out to the RAAC at [email protected] or to the Equal Opportunity and Compliance Office (EOC).

Sincerely, 

Amy Johnson 
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
