A student who is pregnant is encouraged to notify the Title IX Coordinator as soon as possible.
By doing so, the student and College personnel can collaborate and develop an appropriate plan for the continuation of the student's education. Pre-planning can also help with particular challenges a student may face while pregnant or when recovering from childbirth (e.g., missed classes, make-up work, etc.). However, the choice to declare a pregnancy is entirely voluntary, and a student is not required to disclose this information to the College.
For example, voluntarily disclosing a pregnancy by a nursing program student may be particularly beneficial due to the unique nature of the nursing program and its clinical requirements.
