Advice for Students:
• Always accompany requests for accommodations
with an expression of willingness to make up hours,
work hard, compensate for missed time, etc.
• Set a precedent through hard work and being a
team player before making requests, build capital so
that management is more likely to accommodate
• Be ready and willing to explain why you need an
accommodation instead of leaving it as a “religious
observance” without further elaboration
14. 14
• Refer others to campus ministries or human
resources for further concerns about
accommodating religious requirements
Be honest about what is religiously required
and what is not, be willing to do certain things
with slight modifications to work around the
problem rather than make requests
Make sure that others understand that there
are varying levels of religious observance and
that co-religionists should not be judged based
on your standards and vice versa
