Reasonable Accommodations:

Students may request reasonable accommodations as the result of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

Such accommodations include:

  • larger desk
  • elevator access
  • allowing you to make frequent trips to the restroom, when necessary because of your pregnancy
  • excused absences
  • parking assistance or escorts
  • protection from harassment

Faculty members, if a student informs you that they are pregnant, please ask if there are any needed accommodations and refer them to the Title IX Office. Also, please excuse all absences associated with their pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, childbirth, or recovery.

Nursing Mothers:

Lactation Accommodation

The вÊÍø is committed to providing a family friendly work and learning environment by helping employees and students achieve success at work and school, and in their personal lives. In keeping with that commitment and in compliance with federal and state law, the University supports a nursing mother’s need to express milk for her infant child while working or learning at вÊÍø. Colleagues, management and teaching faculty are encouraged to be accepting and supportive of nursing mothers.

The University provides private locations (not toilet stalls) where a student or an employee can pump breast milk. For questions regarding the location and scheduling of lactation rooms, contact the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center, the University Health Center, or Human Resources.
