Days of Religious Observance
State law requires that the University excuse any student who is unable to attend classes or participate in any examination, study, or work requirement because of religious observance, and allow students the right to make up such examination, study, or work requirement without any adverse or prejudicial effects. The law also provides that such makeup work may not create an unreasonable burden upon the University. Students have an obligation to inform their course instructors, in advance, of the days on which they will be absent for religious reasons. Students should inform their course instructors in writing of the days they will be absent as early in the semester as possible and always prior to the day(s) on which they will be absent for religious reasons. Instructors, if they feel that it is important for course planning, have the right to require students to provide a written list of such days within one full calendar week after students' enrollment in the course, provided that the instructors list this requirement and deadline on the course outline or other handouts.
For further information on class absence and major days of religious observance, consult the Campus Policy on Class Absence for Religious Observances Web page.
