Religious Observance PolicyThe College of Medicine recognizes that students, faculty and staff observe a variety of religious faiths and practices.Although many religious holidays are observed with time off, a few of the religious days of observance may be part ofthe academic calendar. The College will follow the established FAU policy regarding absences due to personalobservances of religious holidays. A student who must be absent from a class requirement due to religious beliefs orpractices will not be penalized.Regulation 2.007Religious Observances(1) The University recognizes and values students' rights to observe and practice their religious beliefs. Thisregulation provides a procedure in which students may seek reasonable accommodation of their religiousobservances, practices, and beliefs in regard to admission, class attendance, the scheduling ofexaminations, major class events, major University activities, and work assignments.(2) The University will reasonably accommodate a student's religious observances, practices, and beliefs asthey pertain to the following:a. Admissions: The University will not deny admission to any student because of the religiousobservance, practice, or belief of the student.b. Class Attendance: Any student, upon notifying his or her instructor, will be excused from class or otherscheduled academic or educational activity to observe a religious holy day of his or her personal faith.Such notification shall be made no later than the end of the second week of the applicable academicterm. Students shall not be penalized due to absence from class or other scheduled academic oreducational activity because of religious observances, practices or beliefs. Students should reviewcourse requirements and meeting days and times to avoid foreseeable conflicts, as excessive absencesin a given term may prevent a student from successfully completing the academic requirements of acourse.c. Work Assignments: Students who are excused from class or a specific work assignment or otheracademic or educational activity for the purpose of observing a religious holy day will be responsible forthe material covered in their absence, but shall be permitted a reasonable amount of time to make upany missed work. Missed work shall be made up in accordance with a timetable set by the student'sinstructor or as prescribed by the instructor at the beginning of the academic term.d. Examinations, Major Class Events, Major University Activities: The University, by and through itself andits instructors, shall use reasonable efforts not to schedule major examination, major class events, ormajor University activities on a recognized religious holy day. A recognized religious holy day is asignificant day of religious observance as recognized by the highest governing body of that particularreligious faith. Evidence of such recognition shall be provided by the student unless the holy day hasbeen previously recognized by the University on its University Calendar as a day of observance inwhich the University is closed in observance of the holiday.(3) Any student who believes that he or she has been unreasonably denied an educational benefit due to his orher religious belief or practices may seek redress of the decision by filing a complaint for failure to provide areligious accommodation with the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs. Any such complaint will beprocessed and investigated in accordance with the University’s established procedure regarding allegeddiscrimination and harassment.Procedure for requesting religious accommodation at FAU COM(4) Students requesting an absence due to religious observances during any course, clerkship or otherrequired educational activity shall notify the relevant course/clerkship director, the Senior Associate Deanfor Student Affairs and the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education no later than the end of the33
