The University of Oregon makes reasonable accommodations, upon request, for students who are unable to attend a class for religious obligations or observance reasons. Students who would like to request a religious accommodation can complete the Student Religious Accommodations Request Form to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access (OEOA). Each religious accommodation request will be assessed by OEOA 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, and providing an opportunity to make up coursework. Course related requests must be made:
- By the end of the second week of the term, if the request is for a date that comes after the first two weeks, or
- at least 14 days prior to the observance if the observance occurs in the first two weeks of the term.
The Office of Equal Opportunity and Access will make every effort to consider requests received outside this deadline.Learn more at OEOA's Religious Accommodations page and submit a Student Religious Accommodations Request Form. Once submitted, someone will reach out to you regarding your request.
