Does anyone know about public universities in PA?

Are they required to take the same exemptions as public k-12, or can they make up their own rules? I got a form to fill out, complete with a sheet for religious exemption that must be accompanied by a letter from my pastor or religious leader. Well I guess that would be me. I'd really like to write the same letter I would if i was enrolling in k-12, parrot the wording of the law at them and sign it. Will that work?

You do not have to have a letter written by a clergy person

check out the bottom...there is lots of info about college and university exemptions.

Actually, much of the university stuff on that page is very similar to what I've received. I'm not really comfortable putting down a lot of specific religious stuff and getting stuck trying to argue and prove my point. I shouldn't have to do that. It's also all very judeo-christian oriented which I'm not. Sigh. I'm mostly taking online and evening classes and it's not like I'm going to be sleeping and eating on campus and swapping spit or whatever, those days are long past me.

I'm a big fan of parroting the law. In Homeschooling circles it is recommended that you don't give them more than required because it could errode rights.
