IU’s Religious Observance Policy

Students are permitted to miss classes for religious observances.  The IU Faculty Council has enacted a religious observance policy stating that professors are required to make, “a reasonable accommodation when a student must miss an exam or other academic exercise because of a required religious observance. With timely notice, students must be allowed to make up the work that was missed.  Absence for a religious observance does not count toward the number of absences an instructor might allow in a class.

Students are required to fill out a religious observance form within the first two weeks of the semester.
