Religious Accommodation for Students

Policy #: 
409
Executive Summary: 

This Policy was developed in response to a recently-enacted North Carolina law, codified at NC General Statute 116-11(3a), which requires UNC Charlotte to (1) authorize a minimum of two excused absences each academic year for religious observances required by the faith of a student; and (2) provide students the opportunity to make up any tests or other work missed due to an excused absence for a religious observance. In order to facilitate compliance with this new law while mitigating the burden on faculty, the Policy establishes a procedure for students to request accommodations for religious observances through the submission of a request form prior to the census date of each semester.

I. Introduction

Death of a Student

Policy #:

Executive Summary: 

This policy describes guidelines to be followed to provide an orderly, effective and caring response in the event of the death of a student.

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte intends to provide a safe and positive environment for all students.

These guidelines have been established to provide an orderly, effective, and caring response.

Hazing

Policy #: 
405
Executive Summary: 

The Dean of Students Office should be contacted immediately whenever a member of the University community observes the physical or psychological abuse or intentional public embarrassment of any person or persons. That office, in conjunction with the Campus Police, will conduct a complete investigation of each such report, and will pursue on-campus disciplinary action, criminal prosecution, or both depending on the particular facts and circumstances.

The University prohibits any form of hazing of its students, at any time, or at any location on or off campus, including fraternity houses, private residences, or public property. The University will respond swiftly to investigate reports of hazing received from any source, and will promptly determine whether to proceed with campus disciplinary action, to forward a report to appropriate law enforcement officials for prosecution as a criminal matter, or both. University students who voluntarily consent to hazing, as well as those who inflict it, are subject to such action.

Student Records (FERPA)

Policy #: 
402
Executive Summary: 

Federal law and regulations require that "education records," including almost all University records which relate directly to a student, must be held in confidence. The student, however, has a legal right of access to his/her own education records. Faculty members and administrators who have a legitimate educational interest may have access to a student's confidential records without the student's permission, but in most other cases the written consent of the student is required before access may legally be permitted. Students have certain rights to correct or delete inaccurate or misleading information in their education records.
