Student Grievance Procedure A student who feels that an instructor did not make a reasonable accommodation should appeal the decision through the Student Academic Grievance Procedure found in the Student Handbook .
Employee Responsibilities An employee who is seeking a religious accommodation must submit a written request to their immediate supervisor . The written request will include the type of religious conflict that exists and the employee ’ s suggested accommodation .
Supervisor Responsibilities The immediate supervisor will evaluate the request considering whether a work conflict exists due to a sincerely held religious belief or practice and whether a reasonable accommodation is available . Depending on the type of conflict and suggested accommodation , the supervisor may confer with their leader or their HR Partner .
