Special arrangements for cultural/religious commitments

Staff at the University of Sydney have access to special leave to enable partipation in cultural/religious days of significance that fall on a working day, including Indigenous cultural and ceremonial obligations.

Special arrangements may be made available to students who are unable to meet assessment requirements or attend examinations because of essential religious commitments or essential beliefs (inlcuding cultural and ceremonial commitments).
