UTORschedule: Adding Information on Religious Observances The University of Toronto comprises one of the most diverse campus populations anywhere; students, staff and faculty have a wide range of backgrounds, cultural traditions and spiritual beliefs. This page provides instructions to add religious holy days to your UTORschedule Oracle Calendar.
