Campus Policies & Accommodations

The Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance fosters an inclusive environment for all Auburn University students and employees. Auburn University prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex–including pregnancy–in its educational and employment programs and activities. In compliance with Title IX, Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Pregnant Worker Fairness Act, the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance works with students and employees on an individualized basis to identify and implement reasonable accommodations for pregnancy and pregnancy-related medical conditions.

Examples of pregnancy-related accommodations include, but are not limited to, rescheduling tests or exams, excusing absences, submitting work after a deadline, providing alternatives to make up missed work, retaking a semester, or temporary parking arrangements for closer accessibility to buildings on campus. The Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance may facilitate communications with the student’s professors or assist with other University resources.
