* Students in clinical courses should check with appropriate departments regarding time off. With the exception of Thanksgiving Day, and Winter and Spring Recesses as listed in the academic calendar, all 3rd and 4th year students will be expected to adhere to the holiday schedules of the department (and hospital site) to which they are assigned. Fourth year students completing sub-internships will have clinical obligations which may extend throughout vacation periods.

** Students should contact faculty prior to taking time off, including religious holidays. Arrangements must be made for making up academic work missed. Per New York State Education Law, Section 224-a: “Any student in an institution of higher education who is unable, because of religious beliefs, to attend classes on particular day or days shall, because of such absence on the particular day or days, be excused from any examinations or any study or work assignments. ” All missed work must be made up at the discretion of the faculty.
