Holidays Observed

Religious Observance Policy

West Coast University grants students excused absences from class, laboratory, and/or clinical practice experiences for the absence of religious holy days.  Students must inform the Dean/Director of their program by completing the Holy Day Absence Request form of their religious obligations at least one (1) week before the requested absence.  It is the student’s responsibility to inform the faculty of their requested absence.  Faculty are asked to be responsive to a request when student informs them in ADVANCE, in accordance with this policy (one week advance notice) of their excused absence.  The student should be given an opportunity to make up missed work because of religious observance.  It is the responsibility of the student to manage the work or student time lost as the result of the religious observance. 

Students are advised to scan syllabi at the beginning of each term to detect potential conflicts with religious observances.  Please note that this Holy days policy does NOT apply to a specific church holiday, festival, weekly meetings or church camps.  The Holy Day addressed by this policy is a tenant of the whole Faith, a consecrated day, a day of obligation which the faithful are expected to observe, a day set aside for special religious observance.
