UCA provides supportive measures to students who are pregnant or lactating in the form of academic and physical accommodation.
UCA’s Office of Accessibility Resources (OARS) website: https://uca.edu/oars/pregnant-students/ is a great place to start, and can provide support including:
- Accessible seating options for pregnant students,
- Note taking for students absent or requiring additional pregnancy related support,
- Academic accommodation (scheduling, testing location/time, access to recorded lectures, etc.) related to pregnancy, birth, or lactation.
The Title IX Office can assist students in understanding their rights and resources available during pregnancy, during recovery after childbirth, and during lactation.
The Title IX Office will also investigate, and, if necessary, remedy any discriminatory acts that limit a pregnant or lactating student’s access to UCA’s educational programs and activities.
