Pregnancy and Pregnancy-Related Conditions
Overview
Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex, which includes pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from any of these conditions, in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding. In accordance with Title IX, the Title IX Office and Student Accessibility Services (SAS) have established procedures for students who are pregnant at NCCU.
Students who self-identify as pregnant or with a related condition have the right to choose whether to continue in their educational program with reasonable support or adjustments, request a leave of absence, or withdraw from the institution. Pre-planning is essential to the successful implementation of an individualized plan. A student should contact the Office of Title IX as soon as possible.
Students seeking assistance for non-University resources should contact the Office of Student Advocacy within the Division of Student Affairs. The Student Advocacy Coordinator offers guidance, resources, and referrals for students who need assistance with housing, food, health, and personal issues.
