FAQ: What happens to classes during Ramadan?
A: Here’s a response from Ayesha Akram, MA2006 (MS2005 and former class president; e-mail: aja2106)…
Ramadan begins on Wednesday, Oct. 5, and runs for a month. Muslims are expected to fast from sunrise to sundown for the 30 days of Ramadan. Given the timings of the evening prayer, most students will inevitably have to break their fast during class.
Having the faculty know about Ramadan makes it a little less awkward for students to request for time out to pray or break the fast.
