Campus Policies & Accommodations

Northwest Nazarene University is dedicated to providing equal access to its education programs and activities for all students and to fostering a community that welcomes and supports pregnant and parenting students. This policy outlines the University’s commitment to comply with applicable Federal law, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and any other applicable law and establishes the University’s intent to protect students against unlawful discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or recovery from any of these conditions.

While the University expects community members to abide by the provisions of the University’s Lifestyle Commitment relating to sexual purity and marriage, the University is committed to supporting students who are pregnant or new parents, including the mother and, as appropriate, the father, regardless of their circumstances. The University expects all community members to treat students who are pregnant or new parents with Christian love, dignity, and respect in all situations.
