In fall quarter only, first-year ND classes begin a week earlier to accommodate study days scheduled throughout the quarter, when first-year ND classes are not held. Study days are 10/18-19/07, 10/24/07, 11/26-27/07. Payment due to first-year ND is 9/24.
During interim clinic, all clinic services run normally. Interim clinic is required; exceptions must be approved, in advance. Students staff the shifts in which they were registered, in the quarter just ended.
During clinic closure, the clinic does not offer patient visits, but appointment phones and dispensary are open (except when one of the clinic closure days falls on a paid holiday.) Appointment phones and dispensary hours may be altered from their standard operating hours. The clinic is closed on all official holidays.
Bastyr community day is focused on the health and well-being of members of the Bastyr community. Activities are scheduled for the afternoon and classes are cancelled from 12 noon - 5 p.m. so that members of the community can participate.
Although religious holidays are NOT official University holidays, the University's policy is to attempt to accommodate the observance of religious practices. Students are responsible for the material covered but will not have religious absences count against any attendance requirement. Students observing such holidays are required to notify faculty during the first week of classes, as well as find substitutes for clinic shifts affected. Students should follow the "reschedule exam" procedures in the event an exam falls on a religious holiday.
The following are the major religious holidays in the coming academic year (holidays that occur during break periods are not listed): Jewish (holidays begin at sunset of the day listed and continue through sunset of the following day): September 12-14, 2007; September 21-22, 2007 and April 19-20, 2008. Christian: March 21, 2008 and March 23, 2008. Students who observe religious holidays not included above or have religious restrictions against attending classes on weekends (Bastyr University schedules clinical training and occasional required courses or intensives on weekends) must contact their program chair/dean, in advance, when such a conflict occurs. Efforts will be made to resolve such conflicts, but a resolution cannot be guaranteed.
Revised: August 2007. The calendar is subject to change.
