Religious Accommodations

Students

To receive reasonable accommodations for a religious practice at Vanderbilt University, students and applicants for admission should submit the Religious Reasonable Accommodation Request Form to the Equal Opportunity and Access Office.

Please keep in mind that the Religious Reasonable Accommodation Request Form must be completed before Vanderbilt can make any accommodation recommendations. The submission of this form will begin an interactive process that will include the student and relevant parties, as Vanderbilt deems necessary. 

A member of EOA may contact the student for additional information or to schedule a meeting and discuss the accommodation request as well as reasonable accommodations that do not create undue hardship or substantially alter the University’s pedagogy. The student and relevant campus partners will be notified of any accommodation decisions. Accommodations are determined and reviewed on an individual basis.  

Examples include, but are not limited to, rescheduling of a presentation, rearranging a graduate student's research responsibilities, and giving a makeup exam.
