College Policies and Procedures
Accommodation for Religious Beliefs Policy
NWTC is committed to embracing the worth
of every individual, creating a place for
all people, and promoting the respectful
environment necessary for intellectual and
personal discovery. Removing barriers to serve
a diverse population with a variety of religious
beliefs and practices sustains this principle.
NWTC may provide a reasonable accommodation
based on a person’s sincerely held religious belief.
In making this determination, NWTC reviews
a variety of factors, including whether the
accommodation would create an undue hardship
for the College. The accommodation request
imposes responsibilities and obligations on both
the requesting individual and the College. For
complete policy, go to nwtc.edu/Policies.
