Exemptions and Reductions

Students may request exemptions and reductions to their Spiritual Formation Point requirement for various reasons. This could include work conflicts, age, parental status, personal (including medical) situations, or academic requirements.

To request this, students will fill out an online form  or scan the QR code located below or around campus.  After submission, students will receive an email notifying them whether the request has been granted. All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Students are encouraged to submit requests early in the semester though exceptions may be made when a student's circumstances change.
