Dean’s absence verifications for religious observances are now being issued for the spring 2026 semester. The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life asks that students speak to their professors and submit verification requests before Fri., Feb. 6.
As a reminder, requests will only be considered for observances that require your absence from class. Please review syllabi early to determine potential conflicts. If your request is granted, you and your professors will be notified. If you have questions about this process or religious observances in general, please contact Rabbi Alex Malanych or Chaplain Alex Hendrickson in the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life.
