Religious Observances:
Faculty Guidance: The university has built two make-up days into the fall academic calendar, which can be used if a faculty member cannot hold class because of a religious observance. Faculty may also use Canvas to deliver course content asynchronously if a class cannot meet because of religious observance. Faculty should note any changes to class session dates as part of their syllabi submission process.
Student Guidance: Students may be absent from class for religious observance without being penalized. These absences do not count against the excused absences noted in their syllabi. Students must inform the instructor at the beginning of the course of any anticipated absences due to religious observance. The policy for religious observances can be found in the university’s academic catalog.
