Providing Accommodations Under Title IX

Title IX is a federal law which requires schools that receive federal funds to provide reasonable accommodations to students who are pregnant or have pregnancy related conditions. This includes pregnancy, pre-natal doctor appointments, childbirth, false pregnancy, miscarriage, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from any of these conditions.

Title IX for Pregnant & Parenting Students

Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 you are entitled to reasonable accommodations for as long as your doctor deems medically necessary.

It will be important to review each student’s situation individually, as reasonable accommodations will be highly dependent on the requirements of individual courses.

Examples of possible reasonable accommodations (when deemed medically necessary) are:

  • Excused absences due to pregnancy or related condition
  • Reviewing lectures online if available
  • Opportunity to make up field / lab work
  • Rescheduling of tests or exams
  • A larger desk
  • Breaks during class, as needed
  • Additional time to complete assignments
  • Submitting work after a deadline missed due to pregnancy or childbirth
  • Providing alternatives to make up missed work
  • Assignment of an Incomplete * grade
  • Allowing “Withdrawal” * with refund

*If student is eligible

If you would like to review possible reasonable accommodations contact the EOS/Title IX Office for further information.   

If you are a 世界杯官方app faculty or staff member and require workplace accommodations related to pregnancy or pregnancy related conditions, contact OPE.
