Religious Holidays

The University is committed to ensuring equal opportunity to all persons and to providing a learning and working environment that is respectful of the religious beliefs of its students, employees, prospective students and employees, and trustees.  As part of this commitment, the University will provide reasonable Religious Accommodations to those in our community whose sincerely held religious beliefs conflict with a University policy, procedure, or academic or employment requirement, unless such an accommodation would create an undue hardship or would fundamentally alter the University’s work, program and/or mission. The University recognizes that  there may be potential schedule conflicts involving large numbers of students, due to religious obligations. All students are responsible for negotiating their needs around religious practices with their professors.
