Religious Holidays

Students who wish to observe an officially recognized religious holiday on a scheduled Test day or Tarea Final day will be allowed to take a make-up provided they submit the Religious Observance Request form (found on Blackboard) in advance.  

Absences on religious holidays will not count against the three absences you are allowed to miss during the semester. If you will miss a Final Task or class to observe a religious holiday during the semester, please submit the form to your instructor by Friday of the second week of classes.  If the holiday is observed before this date, students should submit the form at least 3 days in advance. For the university’s statement of policy, please see here.
