Campus Policies & Accommodations

Troy University is committed to create an environment that is accessible, welcoming, and inclusive of pregnant and parenting students.

Students will be provided reasonable accommodations based upon their pregnancy and parenting related needs. Specific accommodations will vary from student to student. Some examples of accommodations may include:

• Providing a larger desk.
• Allowing breaks during class, as needed.
• Permitting temporary faculty/staff parking.
• Rescheduling tests or exams.
• Excusing absences due to pregnancy or related conditions.
• Submitting work after a deadline missed due to pregnancy or childbirth. *
• Providing alternatives to make up missed work.
• Permitting a reasonable time for nursing and access to lactation spaces.
• Allowing excused absences for parenting students (both male and female) who need to take their children to medical appointments or to take care of their sick children.

Pregnant students will be allowed to make up any work missed due to medically necessary absences for pregnancy. Students will be offered acceptable alternative arrangements to make up missed work. The student will not be required to complete make up work until the student’s medically-necessary absences for pregnancy are completed.
