Students' Religious Observances

Campus Faculty (Revised November 15, 1995)

When seeking to be excused from class for religious reasons, they are expected to provide their instructors with a schedule of religious holidays that they intend to observe, in writing, before the completion of the first week of classes. The Semester Calendar on the Office of the Registrar’s website will inform students of the university calendar of events, including class meetings and final examination dates so that before they enroll, they can take into account their calendar of religious observances. Scheduling should be done with recognition of religious observances where possible. However, faculty members are expected to allow students to make up work scheduled for dates during which the student’s religious observances are scheduled, to the extent possible.
