Academic Accommodation for Religious, Indigenous and Spiritual Observances
Religion is one of the protected characteristics under the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act. Â鶹´«Ã½ recognizes that, on occasion, the timing of a student’s religious, Indigenous, or spiritual observances and that of their academic obligations may conflict. In such cases, students are entitled to request an academic accommodation. The University will provide reasonable academic accommodation for students that is consistent with the NS Human Rights Act, through respectful, accessible, and fair processes. .
