Pregnancy & Parenting Support
Title IX prohibits discrimination due to pregnancy, related conditions, or parental status in educational programs and activities.
This provides, but is not limited to, the following protections:
- Continue participating in classes and extracurricular activities even if you are pregnant, and not require a doctor's note unless your school requires one for all students with a physical or emotional condition requiring treatment by a doctor.
- Provide reasonable adjustments, such as a larger desk, elevator access, or frequent restroom breaks, when necessary due to your pregnancy.
- Excuse absences due to pregnancy or childbirth for the birthing parent for as long as your doctor deems necessary. Return to the same academic and extracurricular status you had before your medical leave began, and have the opportunity to make up any work you missed while you were out.
- The birthing parent may submit work after a deadline you missed because of pregnancy or childbirth.
- Make up participation or attendance credits you didn't have a chance to earn because of pregnancy.
