Procedures for Requesting a Religious Accommodation (Seattle Students Only)
A student seeking an accommodation under this policy must provide a written request to the student’s faculty member: (i) within 14 calendar days from the first day of classes of the academic semester in which the student is requesting accommodations and (ii) identifying the specific dates the student requests accommodations.
If a student is requesting religious accommodations for multiple classes, the student must submit a written request to each of their faculty members.
The faculty member will evaluate and respond to all requests to reasonably accommodate a student and may require the student to provide additional information about the request. The faculty member may consult with the Dean for Cultural and Spiritual Life or other appropriate University officials in evaluating the student’s accommodation request. The faculty member may deny an accommodation request if it results in the fundamental alteration of the nature or operation of the academic program or course or creates an undue hardship. The faculty member will provide the student with a written decision regarding the accommodation request.
Appeals Procedures: A student may appeal a decision made by the faculty member under this policy by submitting the appeal in writing to the Office of the Dean of the respective school or college of the class the student is seeking accommodations no later than five (5) calendar days after the faculty member’s decision on the requested accommodation. The decision of the Dean or designee will be final.

During their search period, eligible students work one-on-one with a knowledgeable advisor to prepare their search materials, identify appropriate positions, and hone their networking and interviewing skills to pursue a co-op role.
