ÌÇÐÄvlog¾«Æ· provides an inclusive working and learning environment. The College recognizes that religious holy days or recognized days of spiritual observances may, at times, conflict with academic requirements. This policy is intended to ensure that students who want to observe recognized religious holy days or days of spiritual observances are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities in the accommodation of students' religious or spiritual observances.

This policy applies to students in all programs and courses.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¾«Æ· maintains a glossary of terms specific to the institution. The ones in use for this document are defined below.

Students are permitted by Conestoga to be absent from class to observe a recognized religious holy day or day of spiritual observance. This reflects Conestoga’s commitment to being responsive to our increasing diversity and to enabling students’ spiritual development.

Any student who is unable to attend classes or participate in any examination, study, or work requirement on a particular day or days because of their religious or spiritual beliefs must be given the opportunity to make up the work that was missed or to do alternative work that is intrinsically no more difficult than the original exam or assignment. Upon written request and timely notice, students shall be provided reasonable accommodation.
