Student Religious Accommodation

Hagerstown Community College respects the sincerely held faith-based or religious beliefs and practices of all students and will offer, on request, a religious academic accommodation for such observances when a reasonable accommodation is available that does not create an undue hardship or create a fundamental alteration to the educational program or activity.

Requesting a Religious Accommodation

Students may submit a request for a religious academic accommodation by completing a Student Religious Accommodations Request Form. The Dean of Students Office receives the form and will reach out to the student, and faculty, if applicable, to begin the interactive process to discuss the request. Reasonable academic accommodations for students may include excused absences and/or alternatives for missing an examination or other academic requirement if the student’s sincerely held faith-based or religious belief or practice affects the student’s ability to meet the requirement as scheduled. Other reasonable academic accommodations may include modifications to dress/uniform standards or providing alternative assignments provided it does not create an undue hardship or fundamental alteration to the educational program or activity. All information will be treated confidentially and carefully considered. If the preferred accommodation cannot be provided, alternative accommodations may also be considered. To have time to evaluate the request, a student is required to submit the request at least 10 work/school days before the event /activity requiring the accommodation.

Required Space to Accommodate Faith-Based or Religious Practices

Students may submit a request for use of a designated space on campus for religious practice directly to the Student Activities Office in the Student Center, 240-500-2225 or studentactivities@hagerstowncc.edu, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm.
