University Policies on Accommodations for Religious Observance

Northeastern is committed to honoring the religious commitments of all members of our community. Both university policy and Massachusetts law provide that students unable to attend classes, participate in required course activities, or take a scheduled examination because of religious observance will be provided with reasonable opportunity to make up the course work without adverse effects.

The university also respects the religious beliefs of faculty and staff and their desire to take time off for religious observances. Approved time off may be paid or unpaid depending upon a range of factors. Please consult University HR for further information.

For students, find the appropriate policies here. For faculty and staff, find the policies here.
