Pregnancy and Related Resources
Consistent with Title IX, the University provides (1) pregnant students, (2) students who have given birth, and (3) students who have experienced false pregnancy with modifications related to pregnancy, childbirth, loss of pregnancy, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, lactation, and related medical conditions. Students may use this form to request modifications for their own pregnancy, childbirth, loss of pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, lactation, false pregnancy, and related medical conditions. You will be contacted in response to your request for modifications. Students who have never been pregnant are not eligible for modifications, unless they experienced a false pregnancy.
Pregnancy is not a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, students with pregnancy-related complications (such as serious health conditions) or other conditions that constitute a disability, including complications that arise postpartum or exacerbation of an existing impairment due to pregnancy, may be eligible for reasonable accommodations and services through the Accessible Education Center (AEC). OICRC will refer students to and coordinate with the AEC, as appropriate, to ensure students' pregnancy and postpartum related needs are met.
In addition, the University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on familial status. Students who believe they have experienced discrimination or harassment due to being pregnant or to their familial or parenting status are encouraged to report their concerns at this site.
Below you will find links to helpful resources, as well as a Student Pregnancy Modification Request Form. This form should be used to request pregnancy-related modifications for students, including Graduate Employees, related to pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation.
