Accessing Accommodations

Each semester of enrollment, the student will be responsible for:

• Giving a copy of their schedule to the Office of Accessibility Services prior to the semester; and
• Picking up, completing and returning paperwork within two weeks after the beginning of the semester.

The Disability Services Handbook contains all the policies and procedures pertaining to Accessibility Services at 91福利社. Students are encouraged to review this handbook at their earliest convenience.

Below is 91福利社's Policy for Accommodations for Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs and Practices of Students.

Policy Statement

This document will act as the policy and procedure for H.B. 353, entitled "The Testing Your Faith Act." The act requires each state institution of higher education to adopt a policy that reasonably accommodates the sincerely held religious beliefs and practices of individual students regarding exams, other academic requirements, and absences for reasons of faith or religious or spiritual belief system.

For more information about Religious Accommodations, students should contact the Academic Affairs office administrative assistant, Ryan Hall at rhall21@sscc.edu or 937-393-3431 x2604.

Absences and Alternative Accommodations

A student is permitted to be absent for up to three days each semester to take holidays for reasons of faith or religious or spiritual belief system or to participate in organized activities conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or other religious or spiritual organization. There will be no academic penalty as a result of a student's absence under the policy. However, the student is required to fulfill the required student learning outcomes.

Alternative accommodations will be provided for students who miss exams or other academic requirements as a result of such absences, if:

• The student's sincerely held religious belief or practice severely affects the student's ability to take an exam or meet an academic requirement; and
• Within the first 14 days of a course or 14 days before the dates of absence which ever comes first, the student provides the instructor with written notice of the requested dates for alternative accommodations.

Instructor Responsibilities

Under the act, an instructor must accept without question the sincerity of a student's religious or spiritual belief system and keep alternative accommodation requests confidential. An instructor also must schedule, without prejudicial effect, another reasonable time and date (either before or after scheduled dates) for the missed alternative exam or other academic requirement.

In addition, the act requires each course syllabus to include the institution's policy on requesting accommodations and the contact information of a person who can provide further information.

Grievance Procedure

Students wishing to file a complaint/ grievance to the institution regarding Religious Accommodations or policy implementation may do so by filling out the Report an Accessibility/Disability Concern form.
