Pregnancy-Related Modifications for Students
Pregnancy-Related Modifications for Students
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex—including pregnancy and parental status—in educational programs and activities.
All public and private schools, school districts, colleges, and universities receiving any federal funds (“schools”) must comply with Title IX.*
Students who are pregnant, have pregnancy-related conditions, or are parenting are entitled to equal access to educational programs and activities and may be eligible for reasonable modifications to support their continued participation.
