Policy on Work-Restricted Religious Holidays

Federal law and University policy prohibit discrimination on the basis of
religious belief. It is the policy of the University of Louisville to accommodate
students, faculty, and staff who observe religious work-restricted holy days.
Students who observe work-restricted religious holy days must be allowed to
do so without jeopardizing their academic standing in any course. Faculty are
obliged to accommodate students’ request(s) for adjustments in course work
on the grounds of religious observance, provided that the student(s) make
such request(s) in writing during the first two (2)weeks of term.

Deans and department chairs must investigate and resolve student

complaints arising from alleged faculty failure to make reasonable

accommodation under these guidelines.

A calendar of typical work-restricted holidays is available through the Office

of the Provost. Information about specific holidays is also available by phone
from the Office of the Provost at (502) 852-6153.
