Exams and Religion

If you will be observing religion or belief holidays or festivals (e.g. Sabbath, Festival, Friday Prayers, Eid prayers etc.) during the exam periods at any point in the academic year, you must complete a ‘Request for Religious Observance Form’ by 30th October for the entire academic year.
