• The faculty member will determine if an accommodation can be granted. The student and faculty member will develop a plan to implement the accommodation within an appropriate time frame. The plan of action should be documented on the Request for Accommodation for Religious Observances Form. • Students who believe they have been unfairly denied an accommodation should, after trying to resolve the problem with the course instructor, contact the head of the department for that course. • False requests/claims of absences due to religious observance may be considered an academic misconduct violation (refer to the CCAC Student Handbook). This Procedure cannot be used during the final exam period. Students are expected to take final examinations at the scheduled times and to complete end-of-semester work by the deadlines set by the instructor. Students and faculty may also consult with the Civil Rights Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator prior to requesting or granting an accommodation. Accommodations for religious observances do not relieve students from responsibility for curriculum content. Faculty may appropriately respond if the student fails to satisfactorily complete any alternative assignment or examination.
