The school, including the computer labs, will stay open for religious and civil holidays not listed, although some classes may not be in session.
BIR recognizes the broad diversity of the religious beliefs of its faculty, staff, and students.
Students who inform instructors of an intended absence for a religious observation will not be penalized.
To resolve conflicts that could arise from various observances, it is our practice that tests and major
assignments should not be scheduled on a major religious holiday such as Rosh Hashanah or Easter.
