Examples of accommodations may include, but not limited too:

  • A large desk
  • Breaks during class
  • Rescheduling tests or exams
  • Excusing absences
  • Extension of deadlines
  • Providing alternatives to make up missed work

Please reach out to the Title IX Office for more information on a request for a reasonable accommodation based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related condition.
