Student Absences for Religious Holy Days
In accordance with Senate Bill 738, a student who is absent from classes to observe a religious holy day will be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence, if (1) not later than the 15th day after the first day of the semester, the student notifies the professor of each class that the student will be absent for a religious holy day, and (2) the student personally delivers the notification in writing to the professor of each class (with receipt of the notification acknowledged and dated by the professor) or sends a notice by certified mail (with return receipt requested) to the professor of each class.

A student who is excused under Senate Bill 738 will not be penalized for the absence, but the professor will respond appropriately if the student fails to complete satisfactorily the assignment or examination.
