Students who are pregnant or experiencing pregnancy related conditions have rights under Title IX. 

These rights:

• Allow continued participation in classes and extracurricular activities even though you are pregnant.
• Allow you to participate in classes and extracurricular activities even though you are pregnant and not require you to submit a doctor's note unless your school requires a doctor's note from all students who have a physical or emotional condition requiring treatment by a doctor. 
• Ensure that instructors understand the Title IX requirements related to excused absences/medical leave.
• Allow you to return to the same academic and extracurricular status as before your medical leave began, which should include giving you the opportunity to make up any work missed while you were out.

Your rights include but are not limited to the above list. Students who would like to learn more or seek accommodations for pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions should complete the Pregnancy Accommodation Request Form or contact Student Accessibility and Testing at (573) 341-6655 or saat@mst.edu to schedule an appointment.
