Student Absences on Religious Holidays Section 51.911 of the Texas Education Code requires that an institution of higher education shall allow a student who is absent from class for the observance of a religious holy day to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence. Refer to the Academic Calendar for the deadline date for notification by students to the faculty members of the student s intent to be absent on religious holy days. All requests for transcripts must be in writing and must be accompanied by the individual s signature. A fee which, according to state law must be paid in advance, will be charged for each copy. Transcripts will not be released for students who have a financial indebtedness to the university or tagged by Financial Aid.
Forms are available on the web.
The Resignation Request must be in writing and becomes effective on the date received by the Registrar s Office. The effective date of the Resignation Request, as received by the Registrar s Office, is the date which is used for determining any refund. The student is responsible for clearing all debts owed to the university. Students who resign from the university while enrolled in a course whose duration is less than a normal term will receive a mark of WP or WF if they resign after one-half of that course s time has been completed. The mark of WP or WF is the responsibility of the student s instructors.
