• Title IX 

  •  Title IX protects pregnant and parenting students from discrimination from participating in their educational activities (academic and cocurricular).

  • Title IX protections include:

  • Excusing absences that are medically necessary related to the pregnancy/childbirth and allowing students to make up any missed work. 
  • Permitting extra breaks, or longer breaks, for lactation needs as well as access to lactation spaces.
  • Not forcing a student to take a leave of absence or not take a leave of absence. 
  • If the student needs alternative furniture for accommodating their pregnancy needs, provide a table instead of a desk, a different chair, etc. 
  • Providing alternative options for success in a course where medically necessary conditions related to pregnancy/childbirth - similar to a student with a temporary disability. This would be accommodated by Student Disability Services.

For students, please submit an intake form to be connected with the Title IX Office.
