Absence Dictated by Religious Beliefs

In accordance with its long-standing tradition of respecting the religious beliefs of every student, Bay Path University complies with the following law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

"Any student in an educational or vocational training institution other than a religious or denominational educational or vocational training institution, who is unable, because of their religious beliefs, to attend classes or to participate in any examination, study or work requirement, on a particular day shall be excused from any such examination or study or work requirement, and shall be provided with an opportunity to make up such examination, study or work requirement which they may have missed because of such absence on any particular day; provided, however, that such makeup examination or work shall not create an unreasonable burden upon such school. No fees of any kind shall be charged by the institution for making available to the said student such opportunity.
