Faculty guidance re: make‐up classes for religious observances: 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 re: absence due to religious observances: 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. Our policy for religious observances can be found on
page 194 of the university's academic catalog.
