The University of Oregon is committed to creating an engaging environment and academic experience for students of all faiths and religions. We are committed to complying with state and federal laws and regulations to support reasonable religious accommodations for students.
Students who need to be absent from a class due to a religious obligation or observance must communicate and make arrangements with instructors in advance. Each religious accommodation request will be assessed on an individual basis; requests that cause a fundamental alteration to a course or undue hardship to the university cannot be accommodated.
Religious accommodations could include, but are not limited to, allowing course absences, rescheduling an exam, adjusting due dates, providing an opportunity to make up coursework, providing space for prayer, permitting religious attire, guiding University Housing assignments, or permitting ceremonial activity in approved locations.
Please observe these deadlines:
- For Housing related room requests, requests must be made by June 1 for the following academic year.
- For course related requests, requests must be made by the end of the second week of the term or at least 14 days prior to the observance if the observance occurs in the first two weeks of the term. We will make every effort to consider requests received outside this deadline.
- All other requests must be made no later than 14 days before the accommodation is needed.
