Religious Accommodations

The University of Texas at Austin prohibits discrimination based on religious beliefs, practices, and affiliation in all aspects of employment and education. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals' sincerely held religious beliefs and practices, unless doing so would create an undue hardship on UT Austin.
