Conflict with Chapel Attendance

There may be specific instances in which students have an excusable conflict that prevents them from attending chapel. See the guidelines below to better understand these exceptions.

• Chapel make-ups will only be allowed under certain circumstances (see below).
• Students involved in student teaching and official LeTourneau University internships receive graced attendance when these activities prevent students from being on campus during Chapel.
• Students with flight blocks scheduled by the university receive graced attendance for Chapel only on those days when flight blocks conflict.
• Students with nursing clinicals scheduled by the university receive graced attendance for Chapel only on those days when clinicals conflict.
• Other official university conflicts will be determined by the Campus Pastor and the department involved.
• On- or off-campus jobs do not exempt students from the Spiritual Formation Credit requirement.
• Students with work and other conflicts may petition the Office of Spiritual Life at the beginning of the semester to turn in make-ups. It is the student’s responsibility to make these arrangements.
• Students who miss Chapel because of illness may submit a written make-up to receive credit.
• Students arriving more than five (5) minutes after the beginning of Chapel are considered late and may not receive credit for that date unless they submit a written make-up; students may not leave Chapel early.
• Problems with Chapel attendance records and Spiritual Formation Credits (including counting you absent when you were present or vice versa) must be resolved with the Office of Spiritual Life within two weeks of the Chapel service or Spiritual Formation activity in question.
