It is the policy of the university to excuse without penalty students who are absent because of religious observances and to allow the students to make up work missed because of such absence. Examinations and special required out- of-class activities ordinarily will not be scheduled on those days when such students may not participate in secular activities. Absences for religious obligation will not be counted for reporting purposes. A student absent from an examination because of a required religious observance will be given an opportunity to make up the examination without penalty.
