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.
- For course related requests, requests must be made at least 14 days prior to the observance. If an observance occurs in the first two weeks of the term, a request must be submitted as soon as practicable but no less than 72 business hours prior to the need for the accommodation.
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.
