Accommodation Procedures
Staff, Faculty, and Student Employees in need of religious accommodations may reach out to University Human Resources to discuss workplace accommodations.
Students in need of religious accommodations may reach out to Office of Student Assistance to discuss academic or housing accommodations. Student Assistance staff can help you navigate the communications associated with finding reasonable accommodations with the appropriate campus stakeholders.
Reasonable accommodations are determined on an individual basis and may include (but are not limited to):
- Alternatives to make up missed work due to religious observations
- Flexibility in due dates or class attendance requirements
- Rescheduling exams
- Additional breaks or time away from class
- Provide a time and/or place to pray
- Flexibility to wear religious attire
- Alternative on-campus housing options
**It is the responsibility of the student to communicate religious/spiritual needs to faculty and staff. Communicate early with your Professors or Department of Residence. Academic and housing accommodations take time to make. For example, it is not reasonable to ask your professor to reschedule an exam the night before a major religious observance, especially those scheduled well in advance. Anticipating religious/spiritual needs early in the semester ensures there is plenty of time for professors and students to reach a reasonable accommodation.
Appeals regarding accommodation requests or accommodation decisions may be submitted to the Office of Equal Opportunity
