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.
The supervisor and employee will meet to discuss the request and decision on an accommodation. If the employee accepts the proposed religious accommodation, the immediate supervisor will implement the decision. If the employee rejects the proposed accommodation, he or she may appeal by contacting their area’ s Dean, Director, or HR Partner.
Any student who has concerns should contact Mohammed Bey, Director of Diversity & Inclusion / Title IX Coordinator, at( 920) 498-6826 or mohammed. bey @ nwtc. edu. Diversity & Inclusion is located in Human Resources in the Corporate Conference Training Center room CC224.
