Alternative Chapels

Alternative chapels are events or programs outside the traditional (Mon/Wed/Fri) chapel services for which students may receive alternative chapel credit.  Alternative chapels may be planned by various offices, departments, and student organizations and must be approved by the Dean of the Chapel.  Chapel attendance each semester must include at least 2/3 traditional chapels and may include up to 1/3 alternative chapels.  Approved alternative chapels are posted below.
