Medical Documentation 

Students are only required to produce supporting medical documentation from a licensed healthcare provider when the documentation is deemed necessary and reasonable when assessing a requested modification. If students have previously provided such documentation for the pregnancy or related condition and requested modification, the student is not obligated to provide ongoing documentation.  

The following modifications are examples of modifications that do not require documentation from a licensed healthcare provider: 

  • To access water
  • To utilize a larger desk or uniform that is provided and required by the University
  • To access a larger sitting area
  • To sit, stand, or take breaks to eat, drink or use the bathroom
  • To utilize the lactation spaces 

To the extent possible, and consistent with the purpose to promptly and effectively prevent sex discrimination and ensure equal access, the University will treat pregnancy or related conditions in the same manner and under the same policies as any other temporary medical condition with respect to any medical or hospital benefit, service, plan, or policy the University administers, operates, offers or participates in with respect to admitted students.  

The University will not require medical certification to participate in any educational program or activity unless there is a certified level of physical ability or health that is required of all participants and such certification shall not be used for discriminatory purposes. 

Pregnancy or Related Conditions Information 

The Title IX coordinator will evaluate requests for reasonable modifications, and will be available to assist a student at any time during this process. The Title IX coordinator and the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources will interact and collaborate with the student to implement reasonable modifications related to their pregnancy or related condition. The Title IX coordinator will also oversee reports of programmatic discrimination on the basis of sex or individualized discrimination on the basis of sex due to the decision to offer or not offer a reasonable modification. 

The University prohibits discriminating against or excluding a student from an educational program or activity on the basis of pregnancy or related condition. This prohibition extends to any policy, practice, or procedure concerning past, present or potential parental, family, or marital status that treats the student, employee or applicant differently on the basis of sex. Pregnancy or related conditions shall be treated in the same manner as a temporary disability or physical condition in accordance with University policies and federal law. 

If a student feels that they have been discriminated against on the basis of sex due to pregnancy or a related condition, they may submit a complaint in writing or orally to the Title IX coordinator per section 2.5 and 2.12 of the Title IX Policy.

Students may contact the Title IX coordinator at any time:
