[Wsssc] Student Absence for Reasons of Faith or Conscience

[Christina Castorena]

At Edmonds College, it's the VPSS. The student submits a request for leave,
I approve/deny. If the request is approved, I send the student an
email/letter that they give to their faculty. The student then works with
the faculty directly on any appropriate accommodation for missing the
class(es).
