About

Religious Holidays/Holy Days

House Bill 353 of the 134th General Assembly directed the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) to develop a non-exhaustive list of major religious holidays or festivals for the next two academic years, at the beginning of each academic year. Each state institution of higher education may adopt ODHE’s list in its entirety, or choose instead which holidays to include on its list. As required by the statute, the list of major religious holidays and festivals included herein is non-exhaustive and is not intended to purposefully exclude any religious holidays or festivals. This list is meant to serve solely as a resource for state institutions of higher education.
