Sacred Seasons and Holy Days

Throughout the year, CSDS Spiritual Advisors and student groups offer weekly opportunities for prayer, worship, study, and meditation, alongside communal observances of holidays and festivals. For more information, see the sacred seasons and holidays calendar linked below. CSDS supports students seeking off-campus places of worship and/or support with religious accommodations (holidays, dietary considerations, etc.).

University Policies on Accommodations for Religious Observance

Northeastern is committed to honoring the religious commitments of all members of our community. Both university policy and Massachusetts law provide that students unable to attend classes, participate in required course activities, or take a scheduled examination because of religious observance will be provided with reasonable opportunity to make up the course work without adverse effects.

The university also respects the religious beliefs of faculty and staff and their desire to take time off for religious observances. Approved time off may be paid or unpaid depending upon a range of factors. Please consult University HR for further information.

For students, find the appropriate policies here. For faculty and staff, find the policies here.
