Policy Statement

Adelphi University welcomes diversity in its community, and respects various religious observances. This policy sets forth guidance for members of the University to take such religious observances into consideration regarding course examination and assignment schedules.

Reason for Policy

The goal of this policy is to effectively balance religious holidays observed by members of the university with the regular academic schedule and requirements of faculty and students.

Who Is Governed by this Policy

Faculty and Students

Policy

Adelphi University requires that students who anticipate being absent, due to their religious observance, will notify their professors at the start of the semester. This will allow the faculty to take these observances into consideration in light of their course exam and assignment schedules. Also, whenever feasible, exams and assignment deadlines should not be scheduled on religious holidays observed by members of the class.

学生缺席当天的课程、临床实践、实践、实验等(事先通知教授)，不因缺席而错过任何考试或作业截止日期，不受任何处罚。学生必须与导师联系，以便安排补课或满足其他学业要求。

Faculty who plan to be absent due to religious observances should notify students in advance of the absence, and indicate the method of make-up.
