• Scheduling support 
• Access to elevators or addressing other mobility needs
• Adjustments to deadlines 
• Recognized absences
• Make-up exam support

Please complete the Pregnancy-Related Conditions Reasonable Modifications Request Form   Reasonable modifications are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Director of Accessibility Services / Title IX Coordinator, based on a student's individual needs and are determined in consultation with the student. Both day campus and online students may request reasonable modifications by using the form above.
