The main calendar is arranged by the academic calendar year for the current and next school year. Some holidays are based on the lunar calendar--which can vary based on region and practice--and, therefore, vary from year to year.
Kosher restrictions apply: Jewish dietary guidelines which apply daily throughout the year. These restrictions include pork, shellfish (fish is allowed), and mixing meat with dairy.
Halal restrictions apply: Islamic dietary laws which apply throughout the year. These restrictions include alcohol and pork.
Occasional dietary restrictions for other religions are listed with the specific event to which they apply.
Great care has been given to assure accuracy of the dates. However, sources often differ on dates and on the spelling of the holiday. Please contact refdesk@mnstate.edu to let us know of obvious errors or to submit other dates we should consider.
