To request reasonable modifications related to pregnancy

Please complete the Pregnancy-Related Conditions Reasonable Modifications Request Form   Reasonable modifications are determined on a case-by-case basis, based on a student's individual needs and are determined in consultation with the student. Both day campus and online students may request reasonable modifications by using the form above. 

Leaves of absence are available to students whose pregnancy, related condition, or childbirth events require time away from academics.  Coordinated support will be provided in these situations through the Title IX Coordinator and Dean of Student Success.
