I am a student at a public community college. Recently, I missed a week of school due to being out of town for a religious event. The college would not let me make up any of my missed work and subjected me to loss of academic credit. They have allowed others to make up work for vacation, illness, personal reasons, etc..but being that mine involved a religious absence I am not eligble. If they can make accomodations for others, why isn't an absence involving my right to worship able to have an accomodation??
