Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational settings. This protection extends to students who are pregnant, have experienced a pregnancy-related condition, or are new parents. This protection applies to both men and women.
Pregnancy-related conditions include:
Because support cannot be issued retroactively, students who have a pregnancy-related condition should compete the Pregnancy and Parenting Supportive Measures Request Form as soon as possible. This will allow us to begin working with you to explore accommodation to fit your needs.
We are committed to maintaining your privacy. Information you share related to your pregnancy and parenting status will not be shared with others, including faculty, unless you grant us permission to share it.
For more information about your rights, please contact the Title IX Coordinator at TitleIX@ung.edu or 706-867-4560.
