Religious Beliefs Accommodation
It is UW System policy to reasonably accommodate your sincerely held religious beliefs with respect to all examinations and other academic requirements.
- You will be permitted to make up an exam or other academic requirement at another time or by an alternative method, without any prejudicial effect, if:
- There is a scheduling conflict between your sincerely held religious beliefs and taking the exam or meeting the academic requirements; and
- You have notified your instructor within the first three weeks of the beginning of classes (first week of summer or interim courses) of the specific days or dates that you will request relief from an examination or academic requirement.
- Your instructor will accept the sincerity of your religious beliefs at face value and keep your request confidential.
- Your instructor will schedule a make-up exam or requirement before or after the regularly scheduled exam or requirement.
- You may file any complaints regarding compliance with this policy in the Equity and Affirmative Action Office.
Safety and Health Policy
