85.0 III-5.10-POLICY CONCERNING THE SCHEDULING OF ACADEMIC ASSIGNMENTS
ON DATES OF RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE
(Approved by the Board of Regents, January 11, 1990)
It is the policy of the Board of Regents that the academic
programs and services of each institution shall be available to
all qualified students who have been admitted to its programs,
regardless of their religious beliefs. Students shall not be
penalized because of observances of their religious holidays and
shall be given an opportunity, whenever feasible, to make up
within a reasonable time any academic assignment that is missed
due to individual participation in religious observances.
Each institution shall develop written policies and
procedures for the implementation of this policy. The
institution's policy in this matter shall be published regularly
in the appropriate faculty and student media and other reasonable
steps shall be taken to disseminate adequately this information
to all members of the institution's community.
