The University of Iowa’s Operations Manual requires religious accommodations for students (Section 22.10.a). Faculty should make sure that this policy is included in their syllabus (an example of the relevant language is provided in the CLAS syllabus template under “Course Policies”). It would also be helpful to announce this policy in class. To add this year’s major religious holidays to your Outlook calendar, please go to https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/105264 and follow the instructions for various platforms.
