Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur

The Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are celebrated on the following 2023 dates:

  • Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday, Sept. 15 and ends after nightfall on Sunday, Sept. 17
  • Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Sunday, Sept. 24 and ends after nightfall on Monday, Sept. 25

Many of our College faculty, staff, and students commemorate various religious events of importance. Our institutional practice is to make every reasonable effort to allow members of the University community to observe their religious holidays without academic penalty. The University encourages faculty members to consider major religious activities when preparing class activities and examinations to avoid conflict with academic requirements (view religious accommodations policy).
