The Faculty of Law follows the University policy on religious observances, recognizing it is important that no student is seriously disadvantaged because of his or her religious beliefs.
If, for reasons of religious observance, a student is absent from a class that is not otherwise cancelled, he or she may request assistance in obtaining notes for the lecture. Requests should be made in advance (at least one week) to the Assistant Dean, Graduate Programs. The Assistant Dean will make all efforts to protect the privacy of the requesting student and ensure that no penalty ensues.
Students are expected to plan the completion of their work around religious observances. Extensions on the date for submission of written work will not ordinarily be granted due to religious obligations, unless there is significant and unavoidable overlap between the timing of the assignment and the religious holiday.
