Policy

Sometimes individuals hold religious beliefs or conduct religious practices that conflict with their work schedules or assigned responsibilities. At the employee’s request, the university will attempt to provide a reasonable accommodation for sincerely held religious beliefs and practices of the employee if to do so does not impose an undue hardship on the employee's department, or interfere with the employee's ability to perform the essential functions of the position. If an employee would like to request, or if a manager receives a request for, a religious accommodation, please contact the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action. Employees may be asked to provide appropriate documentation to support the request.
