No one will be exempt from all chapel credits. "In keeping with the mission of the university, daily Chapel will be held as a part of the curriculum. Regular attendance by undergraduates is required." (ACU Board of Trustees Policy Manual, Policy Number 2.7.4) Students may apply for a Chapel exemption by completing a Chapel Exemption Request and submitting it with all attachments by the deadline.
Exemptions may be granted for conflicting work schedules with Chapel, though students are expected to work their schedules around their Chapel requirements.
Exemptions for lunch, running errands, class meetings, homework, or other personal business may not be granted.
Exemptions for student teaching are not required unless the student is enrolled in 12 or more hours.
Make sure you turn in all paperwork (letter from employer with all required information and printed class schedule) along with your exemption request.
Granted requests result in a pro-rated scale for earning attendance points. The pro-rated scale on the exemption is for work conflicts that last the entire semester. Work beginning after the first two weeks of the semester results in a varied pro-rated scale depending on start date.
Requests are good for one semester only. A new request must be submitted each semester. Chapel Attendance and Integrity Policy
