How does the University support Muslim staff and students?

The University has many Muslim students and staff. The University is very keen to provide a safe and inclusive environment, and facilities and support to ensure that they are able to observe Ramadan alongside their studying, working and living on campus.

As well as the arrangements outlined below, you can check out advice from one of students who explains more about ways to get ready for Ramadan;

• The University's Ramadan Support page includes information about the Ramada programme of activities, support and peer advice; opportunities for the campus community to find out more about the holy month and how to support students who are observing Ramadan; as well as extended opening times for the Green Room prayer space.
• Students who are unable to attend assessments on holy days or religious festivals can request alternative exam arrangements using the notification of religious commitments form.
• Information about Muslim prayer facilities on campus for staff and students are found on the University's Prayer and Contemplation page. All spaces are open open to both staff and student communities. Community facilities and services are available nearby at the Grand Mosque in Leeds.
• The University’s Chaplaincy Team offers support to staff and students.
• Advice, support and guidance is available to managers, staff and students from the Equality & Inclusion Unit at equality@leeds.ac.uk
