Policy

The college requires its administrators and faculty to reasonably accommodate the religious and spiritual needs, observances and practices of their employees and students, upon request.

Individuals may not be discriminated against because of their religious or spiritual beliefs or practices, or because they lack religious or spiritual beliefs or practices. Anyone who believes they have been discriminated against by the denial of a requested religious or spiritual accommodation should contact the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources.

Reasonable accommodations for employees might include granting leave for religious and spiritual observances, scheduling changes, position reassignments, providing a time and place to pray, or allowing the flexibility to wear religious or spiritual attire to work.
