Policy on Religious Observance
Michigan Tech permits students to be excused from class on holidays observed by their religious faith. Students who wish to be absent for a religious holiday are responsible for making arrangements in advance with their instructors to make up class work and exams. Instructors may expect a reasonable limit to the number of absences requested.
Students should follow the university attendance policy and request an absence if they will be missing 3 or more classes or a major assignment, exam, or other graded requirement for the course.
