A maximum of two days per semester may be excused for practicums. If the need for chapel exemption changes, the student must notify the Chapel Attendance Office and return to regular chapel attendance. Students needing a permanent chapel excuse based on the above criteria must file a Permanent Chapel Excuse Form in the Chapel Attendance Office. Responses are sent, notifying the student if the request is granted, denied, or adjusted. Excuse forms must be turned in before absences can be excused.
New absences incurred before the form is turned in remain unexcused absences.
Excuse forms apply only to the current semester. Chapel attendance is required until written notification of the decision is received by the student. Letters of appeal are to be submitted to the Chapel Attendance Coordinator's office. Appropriate receipts or doctors' notes may be required for verification. This appeal will be reviewed at the end of the semester.
