As we strive to ensure that our students, faculty, and staff experience UK as a welcoming environment, we embrace the many aspects of diversity represented on campus and endeavor to be inclusive in the ways we live, learn, and work. This involves respecting the religious diversity on campus. Throughout the academic year, members of our community observe various official holy days of their respective religions.
Major religious holidays
Students are responsible for notifying the Instructor of Record in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays. Faculty shall give students the opportunity to make up work (e.g., exams or assignments) when students notify them that religious observances prevent the students from doing their work at its scheduled time. Faculty should indicate in their syllabus how much advance notice they require from a student requesting accommodation. The Office for Student Success and the Academic Ombud are available for consultation.
