Hi Anne
Over the last couple of years we have published a fasting guidance which has proved really helpful in supporting our Muslim students during this period. We make sure that it is publicised widely prior to the time and also work with Chaplaincy
and the Student Union both of how are linked closely to the Islamic Society, to ensure that it is referred to and used as a point of reference. I have attached a copy of it to the email.
Hope it proves useful to you.
Kind regards
Soraya

Dear Colleagues,
As you may be aware the examination period coincides with Ramadan in 2016 (certainly in my institution).
I have read the ECU guidance but was wondering whether any of you have taken/intending to take specific measures to accommodate students who will be fasting. It is difficult and possibly disproportionate to move the exam period. I was therefore wondering
what else we can do to ensure our Muslim students are not disadvantaged.
Any good practice you have introduced would be very welcome.
Kind Regards
Anne
