Religious Accommodation

Paul Mitchell The School Richland will provide reasonable religious accommodations to students who have religious practices or beliefs that conflict with a scheduled course/program requirement. Students requesting a religious accommodation should make the request, in writing, directly to the school Director within the first two weeks of the beginning of the course and provide specific dates the student requests an accommodation. Being absent from class or other educational responsibilities does not excuse students from keeping up with any information shared or expectations set during the missed class. Students are responsible for obtaining the materials and information provided during any class missed. The student shall work with the Director to determine a schedule for making up missed work.

Examples of religious accommodations may include:

  • rescheduling of an exam or giving a make-up exam for the student;
  • altering the time of a student’s presentation;
  • allowing extra-credit assignments to substitute for missed class work or arranging for increased flexibility in assignment due dates;
  • releasing an instructor trainee from teaching or research responsibilities on a given day.
