Oakton Community College recognizes the broad diversity of religious beliefs of its constituencies. To resolve conflicts that could arise from various observances, it is the College's practice that examinations and major assignments should not be scheduled to occur on a major religious holiday, such as Yom Kippur or Good Friday.  Students who inform instructors of an intended absence for a major religious observance will not be penalized.  Instructors should inform students of this practice at the beginning of the semester so that exams and assignments can be planned accordingly. Similar consideration is accorded to faculty, staff and administrators and is provided for in their respective contractual agreements.
