Religious Holy Days

If you desire to be absent from classes for the observance of a religious holy day, you must work with the instructor prior to the absence. You will be excused, without penalty, from classes or other activities, including examinations, for the observance of a religious holy day, including travel for that purpose. However, you will be responsible for make-up of all work or examinations missed on the religious holy day on which the absence occurred. The instructor may respond appropriately if you fail to satisfactorily complete the assignment or examination. A “religious holy day” means a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20 of the Tax Code.
