Religious Holidays
The faculty
of the University of Illinois at Chicago shall make
every effort to avoid scheduling examinations or
requiring that student projects be turned in or
completed on religious holidays. Students who wish
to observe their religious holidays shall notify
the faculty member, by the tenth day of the term,
of the date when they will be absent unless the
religious holiday is observed on or before the
tenth day. In such cases, the student shall notify
the faculty member at least five days in advance of
the date when he/she will be absent. The faculty
member shall make every reasonable effort to honor
the request, not penalize the student for missing
the class, and if an examination or project is due
during the absence, give the student an exam or
assignment equivalent to the one completed by those
students in attendance. If the student feels
aggrieved, he or she may request remedy through the
campus grievance procedure.
