J-770 Religious Accommodation

Recognizing a Student’s religious beliefs, the College will provide reasonable accommodations so that an academic requirement does not unnecessarily interfere with a Student’s observation of a religious event.

Observing a religious event does not exempt Students from any course requirement but allows them to complete the assignment through an alternate means, as arranged with the course instructors.

Conflicts between a Student’s religious observation and completion of academic requirements should be resolved between Students and instructors whenever possible. Unresolved conflicts should be referred to the dean of the academic department responsible for the course offering. If the conflict cannot be resolved at that level, the Student can pursue an appeal by submitting a formal complaint through the Student and Community Appeals and Complaints Form on the website.
