平特五不中

Ramadan Mubarak!

搁补尘补岣嵞乶听in Islam is the month of fasting that begins at sunset on March 10th (based on lunar observations in North America), and ends at sunset on April 9 with the feast 驶莫d al-Fi峁璻. During this month, physically able Muslims do not eat or drink from the first sign of dawn until sunset. It is a time of self-examination and religious devotion, of charity and community. Read one of our student-authored stories for a personal perspective on what this holy month means to some.

Academic and Dietary Accommodations

Many students and staff in our community will be fasting from the pre-dawn meal suhoor, to the breaking of the fast at the evening meal, iftar. Students who need academic accommodations for Ramadan-related observances should reach out to their professors with as much advance notice as possible.

For students living in residence, suhoor breakfast boxes are available from March 9 to April 9. Students need to fill in the form by 3PM for pickup at one of the 4 dining halls (Bishop Mountain Hall, Carrefour Sherbrooke, New Residence Hall and Royal Victoria College)听between 5:00 pm-9:00 pm, every day.
