Absences for Religious Holidays
Villanova University makes every reasonable effort to allow members of
the community to observe their religious holidays, consistent with the
University’s obligations, responsibilities, and policies. Students who
expect to miss a class or assignment due to the observance of a
religious holiday should discuss the matter with their professors as
soon as possible, normally at least two weeks in advance. Absence from
classes or examinations for religious reasons does not relieve students
from responsibility for any part of the course work required during the
absence. Please read more here
