Pregnant and Parenting Students
Accessibility Services is committed to creating an accessible learning environment for pregnant and parenting students, in compliance with Title IX. Accommodations (adjustments) may be needed for pregnant and parenting students. Adjustments based on pregnancy-related needs may include:
- Ability to have access to water and food
- Breaks from class
- Access to elevators
- Rescheduling of tests or exams
- Adjustments to environment (larger desk, foot rest, for example).
- Adjustments to deadlines due to pregnancy appointments or childbirth
- Recognized absences (due to pregnancy, childbirth, adoption, etc.).
To request accommodations or adjustments related to pregnancy
Please complete the Pregnancy Adjustment Form. In some situations, documentation may be requested. Reasonable modifications are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Medical leaves of absence are available to students whose pregnancy or childbirth events require time away from academics. Coordinated support will be provided in these situations amongst Accessibility Services, the Title IX Coordinator, and the Dean of Student Success.
