It is the policy of the University to excuse student absences that result from religious observances unless such an accommodation would cause undue hardship to the educational and/or university process. In accordance with the procedures stipulated by each college to accommodate varying clinical and educational differences, students must make requests for accommodation of religious holidays in writing within the first week of the term in which the course/clinical experience is offered. Approved accommodations will be provided without penalty for rescheduling of examinations and/ or required clinical, lab, or class work that may fall on religious holidays.
